The Staff College Prospectus 2024/2025

Leadership Solutions for a Changing World

Introduction from Jane Parfrement, Chief Executive

Jane Parfrement

I am proud to be the Chief Executive of The Staff College. At our inception in 1999, our leadership development activity was primarily aimed at leaders within children’s services in local authorities. However, we now work across the public sector and public serving organisations, whilst maintaining our position as the go to provider for leadership development for senior leaders within the children’s sector.

The College works in partnership with those who commission and participate in our work. This allows us to provide programmes of support, training and development which have the biggest impact on leaders to improve the services they lead at a strategic level. Our approach to deeply understand the needs of our communities and our customers means we are able to tailor, pivot or bespoke our offers to truly meet the most pressing current needs whilst remaining future focussed with trailblazing initiatives, providing maximum value from the investment made.

You will see that we have offers which you can buy straight into or use as a base to develop a bespoke offer. We thrive on collaboration and understand that each organisation is different and different people have different learning needs and styles.

We hope that we make a difference across the public sector by creating confident, inclusive and courageous leaders.
