The programme will cover

• What key business aspects do we need to be aware of in education?

• Where is our focus? Inputs for strategy and decision-making

• Regulatory responsibilities, HR and legal obligations

• Financial Awareness & Risk Management

• Reputational Awareness – build your brand, promote and protect your organisation

• Professional ethics

• Boundaries and holding the line

• Influence and other leadership behaviours

• Introduction to managing staff and courageous conversations

• Priorities under pressure

• Wellbeing


Participants will have backgrounds ranging from those newly in or expected to soon move to a first line management position, to those who have been established for some time but are wishing to close gaps through development of knowledge, skills or confidence, and including those wanting a refresher, update or reset in the core areas of operational and professional practice and people management.

Training provided by the Wessex Group provides a valuable opportunity to share and learn with colleagues from member colleges, all in very similar situations, and to build up a network that can keep you supported as you put learning into practice after the event.

Cost to member colleges £120 per delegate.
