 A GAPS workshop

Open to:  Social work leaders and managers who are keen to inhabit their roles with confidence and authority and build effective and resilient teams.

This training will introduce: 

  • A systemic framework focussing on becoming more effective leaders and managers in challenging contexts.
  • Interventions that help build a team/service culture where staff are held accountable for delivering good practice whilst supporting their professional development and resilience.
  • A trauma lens  – exploring the impact of survival roles we all get triggered into under sustained pressure and strategies to manage.

Workshop Structure: 

  • Teaching input to introduce participants to systemic ideas to underpin leadership and management interventions
  • Small group work to explore and practice applying systemic thinking in ‘real life’ work contexts
  • Whole group work to process the learnings that emerge

” The topic was highly relevant and accessible for immediate implementation in the work place.”

” This was a really valuable day. Very helpful for my role in the current climate, to have this input and space to really think about what I can take forward as a line manager.”

“I really enjoyed reflecting on how I respond to issues that arise.”

“Great workshop- very inspiring!”

“I loved the mix of small and whole group, with cameras on and full participation all day. I really felt able to link all the concepts together. It all linked together to make sense that will stick.”
