The Leadership and Management for Residential Childcare (England) course provides specialised training for professionals working with children and young people in residential care settings. It develops essential knowledge of child development, trauma-informed practice, safeguarding duties, leadership principles, and therapeutic approaches required to support vulnerable young people effectively.
Throughout the course, learners will explore how trauma, abuse, and adversity can affect children’s emotional, social, and behavioural development. You will gain practical insight into supporting children who have experienced harm and learn how to create safe, stable, and nurturing residential environments that promote recovery, resilience, and positive outcomes.
The course also covers key safeguarding procedures, risk assessment and management, behaviour support strategies, and the leadership and management skills required to supervise, guide, and support residential childcare teams. In addition, learners will develop an understanding of the wider care system, including partnership working with social services and multi-agency professionals, as well as strategies to support young people transitioning to independence or adult services.
