The programme contains:

• A detailed focus on leadership, personal style and achieving change
• An exploration of the leadership styles needed to deliver rights, choice and control within the current economic climate
• Leading edge practice sessions on key policy priorities

This means that the people appropriate for this programme might be, for example:

• A learning disability commissioner in a local authority or CCG
• The senior learning disability manager in an NHS Trust
• Area or regional managers in a large provider
• Second tier manager in a smaller provider

The programme consists of :

• 4 x one and two day residential modules (held in the Midlands)

Participants are required to attend all sessions. The programme will be facilitated by Rob Greig (NDTi Chief Executive and former Government National Director for Learning Disabilities), Madeline Cooper-Ueki (NDTi Programme Lead for Learning Disabilities) and Bill Love (NDTi Head of Development Support).

Since 2015 the Next generation Programme was joined by the SEND Leadership Programme commissioned by the Department for Education.

Following completion, participants will be able to join the Next Generation ‘Alumni’ which now includes Chief Executives, Directors of Commissioning and Assistant Directors of Social Services.
