About
The Care Leaders Fellowship is a transformative 12-month leadership programme designed to develop an allyship of lived and professional experienced leaders and equip them with the skills, knowledge, and mindset to lead positive change in the children's social care sector.
Our Story
The Care Leaders Fellowship began because we thought it was important for people who have personal experience with the care system and professionals who work in it to work shoulder to shoulder, to solve social issues faced by care experience people.
The Care Leaders have been acting consultants to children's social care for 11 years, and we noticed that the best projects always had a mix of people who had lived and professional expertise, they were equipped with the relevant skills and provided a platform with appropriate power to author change.
So, we created the Care Leaders Fellowship - a place where these two groups of leaders can come together, develop leadership skills, and work as a team to solve important problems faced by care experienced people.
