Effective leadership and management supports staff to grow and develop, and helps ensure positive life outcomes for children and their families.
Developing strong leaders is particularly important during the expansion of Early Learning and Childcare (ELC) and beyond. This toolkit has been developed to support you in reflecting upon your current leadership and management capabilities and help you identify areas for further development.
This toolkit brings together a range of professional learning opportunities and resources including videos, case studies and training, available to support staff at every level across the sector.
The resources include self-evaluation tools and tips for reflective practice, alongside tools to assist development and improvement. There is even a handy ‘Pathways’ resource to guide you throughout your journey. 
The toolkit is divided into sections to help you determine what type of resources might be most useful to you depending on your leadership experience in your current role: emerging, established or accomplished. Whatever resources you choose to explore further, all professional learning undertaken can be considered towards your continuous professional learning (CPL) in line with Scottish Social Service Council (SSSC) requirements or those of the General Teaching Council for Scotland (GTCS).
