These networks give registered managers the opportunity to network with like-minded colleagues who face similar, everyday challenges. Managers said that attending their local network improved their confidence, increased their positivity about their role, and made them feel less isolated. They’re a great way to ensure that managers feel supported, which can really boost their mental health and wellbeing.

A positive workplace culture can have a positive impact on staff wellbeing. Skills for Care’s online toolkit gives examples of what a positive workplace culture looks like, and explains how you can develop a positive culture in your workplace.
