Empower your leadership with RM12 – a practical, 12-month development programme for registered managers in social care. Build confidence, learn effective strategies, and connect with peers.

This programme is designed with real-world challenges in mind. We've stripped away the jargon to focus on what truly works - drawing on expert knowledge and frontline experience to deliver practical, impactful strategies you can apply straight away.

We understand how busy registered managers are, which is why RM12 gives you the dedicated space - just three hours each month over a year - to invest in yourself and your leadership development.

Each month, you’ll take part in expert-led sessions that dive into core leadership principles with a clear focus on real-life application. RM12 equips you with tools, techniques and actionable insights that build your confidence, strengthen your skills and help you form meaningful connections.

RM12 is more than a leadership programme - it’s a space for reflection and shared learning. Through peer support, honest conversations and celebrating progress, you’ll develop the confidence and clarity to lead with purpose and drive positive change in your organisation.

Take your leadership to the next level with RM12.
