On Friday, three lucky members of the Insight Team and two members of the NSA Graduate Scheme attended the Launch of the LQF. The National Skills Academy has launched the Leadership Qualities Framework (LQF) for Adult Social Care and describe it as a "one-stop shop for developing yourself, strengthening and differentiating your organisation and providing better services."
Sophie and Paula from the NSA Graduate Training Scheme tell you more:
Attending the LQF launch was a great experience! It was inspiring to hear those at the
forefront of leadership in adult social care speaking with such passion and
commitment.
Jo Cleary, Chair of the National Skills Academy for Social
Care, provided an overview of how the behaviours in the framework have been
developed, how the LQF will be used to support the development of leadership in
the sector, and how it will support the integration of health and social care
services.
Norman Lamb, Minister for Care Services, launched the Framework and
shared his strong support for the NSASC’s leadership strategy.
Meeting the Minister after his speech was a huge privilege.
He was very interested in the Graduate Management Trainee Scheme and where we have
been working throughout the year.
The atmosphere at the event was indicative of what a landmark the
launch was for the sector.
However, as Debbie Sorkin commented when she closed the speeches, the
hard work lies ahead in putting the Framework into practice across care
services.
The evening was so enjoyable and unlike anything we’ve experienced
before. It presented a fantastic opportunity to meet and speak with the people
involved in shaping the future of the sector.
The vision for the future of Social Care is strong, and Insight are excited to continue to support change.
"A sector brimming with leaders at all levels." - Norman Lamb
