The Staff College, formally known as the Virtual Staff College (VSC) provides a DfE Induction Seminar for recently appointed DCSs.

The Leadership Academy – Austerity, demand and resources: new models of delivery
12th May 2016 Drivers for change, political and financial, are numerous and compelling. They demand more than just efficiencies and cuts.

Some are seeking new delivery partners from both the profit and not for profit sectors. Others are finding ways to build capacity and resilience in communities so that they can do more for themselves. This thematic seminar will consider the leadership challenges associated with this fundamental change in the LA’s relationship with its citizens and share […]
