“The Officers not only from my LA but the others in the region, who were involved in this development activity, gained a breadth and depth of knowledge about the post ECM integrated services agenda that has stood them, and their LAs and therefore the region, in very good stead. I commend the approach of peer based, evidence based, real time learning.”

“As a DCS we know that succession planning is really important. I have been pleased to see how colleagues have been able to use the developmental opportunities from VSC courses to increase the breadth and depth of their knowledge and skills, building towards their next career steps in children’s services.”

“Integrated services for children require resilient, high calibre leadership. Involvement in VSC courses offers colleagues opportunities to develop necessary skills and useful networks to build their leadership skills for the future.”
