Leading to outstanding

What classifies as outstanding in social care is a matter for discussion but what is clear is the impact that leadership has on ensuring best practice and the very best support in care services. Outstanding care comes not just from being assessed as that but in adopting a culture that promotes the idea that there is always an opportunity for improvement. In every case this is achieved through questioning and learning from experience. A leader plays the most significant part in ensuring that this is an integral part of the service they manage and that everyone understands the importance of their contribution in making a service outstanding
