Leading for outcomes

Leading for Outcomes is a series of guides that provide support and training materials to help lead the social services workforce to focus on the outcomes important to people.

The guides Leading for outcomes: a guide, Leading for outcomes: parental substance misuse, Leading for outcomes: children and young people and Leading for outcomes: dementia, are freely available. Each guide is aimed at team leaders, managers and trainers in social services and related areas. The guides are designed to be adaptable and teams can use them in the way that is most appropriate for their needs and their area of practice. The guides were developed in partnership with researchers, policy-makers, managers and practitioners.

More guides are in development in the series which will look at leading an outcomes-focused approach in particular topic areas. These include integrated care, children and young people, and commissioning.

We would be keen to hear your feedback so please feel free to contact the Evidence-informed Practice team.

Slides from the event launch event for the Leading for Outcomes guides held in June 2011 are available here.
