The Core Managers Training Programme is an inclusive leadership course designed to benefit any manager or supervisor working in health or social care in London.
Originally created by the NHS London Workforce Equality and Inclusion team, the programme consists of online, self-directed training which can be completed flexibly.
Across six courses, managers on the programme can develop their skills and confidence leading diverse teams in an equitable, inclusive and compassionate way:
- Inclusive leadership – covering the basics of Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI), the importance of inclusive leadership, and learning and applying inclusive leadership strategies
- Creating a psychological contract – introducing the concept of psychological contracts and introducing them in the workplace
- Noticing and challenging microaggressions – identifying microaggressions and their consequences for teams and individuals, and developing a toolkit to respond to these issues
- Effective allyship – learning how to support and champion marginalised groups
- Increasing disability positivity – exploring the legal concept of disability, challenging outdated models of disabilities and understanding the vital role of the line manager in supporting colleagues with disabilities
- Leading inclusivity: LGBTQIA+ essentials – understand the history of the LGBTQIA+ movement, reflect on intersectionality and use this knowledge to foster inclusivity at work and drive social change
Each of the course is available free to anyone working in an NHS, public health or social care role. You can apply on the NHS Leadership Academy website.
