Sanchita Hosali, British Institute of Human Rights
Human rights: from values to practice
2018 sees the 70th anniversary of universal human rights, and making them real here at home through the Human Rights Act; yet how often do we move beyond values and translate the law into a tool for principled practice? Sanchita will explore why human rights are integral to the delivery of public services, enabling practitioners to redresses power imbalances, to influence and secure outcomes that focus on people equal dignity. At a time when services are stretched and risk-adverse, human rights can deliver a new approach which focuses on preventing poor practice and provides a value-base that brings together practitioners and people using services.
Vikki Jervis, Joint Principal Educational Psychologist at Bristol City EPS
Leadership in Educational Psychology Services: A summary of doctoral research
The overall aim of Vikki's research was to understand the experiences and perceptions of promoted post holders in EP services and she answered 4 research questions:
1. Why do EPs apply for promotes posts and what experiences influence their decisions?
2. What are the experiences of starting first promoted posts and how can this inform us of the support necessary for those embarking on a promoted post?
3. How do EPs develop a leadership knowledge base and what is the leadership knowledge base amongst promoted post holders?
4. How can leadership in EP services be improved?
Linda Jordan, The National Development Team for Inclusion
Values in Leadership
The SEND Reforms introduced in September 2014 were heralded as visionary and were seen as the answer to the many problems inherent in the SEN system. However, there has been a lot of media criticism from parents, schools and others and the Ofsted/CQC inspections are highlighting many challenges. Leadership is seen as one of the major barriers to realising the vision embedded in the Reforms. What is leadership and can leadership operate outside of values?
Andy Lloyd, Leeds City Council
Restorative Leadership in Practice
This presentation will explore how adopting restorative practice as a core behaviour in Leeds Children’s Service has helped them on their journey from inadequate to good. It will mainly focus on the principles of restorative practice but will also show that a commitment to child friendly policies and to a clear workforce development strategy helps embed system change.
Rachael Wardell
The Strategic Triangle A Model for Public Value Leadership
The private sector seeks to create private value (financial profit). The public sector seeks to create public value; but what public value is, is much more difficult to define. The “Strategic Triangle” helps public service leaders to understand the elements that need to be in place to deliver public value, ensuring that social goals are delivered in a way that is legitimate and trusted by the public.
