A new My Home Life England report has been published which has revealed key outcomes from the organisation's annual leadership programmes.
The report, titled, 2025 Evaluation of Leadership Programmes, analysed data from 25 leadership programmes delivered to 322 care leaders across England, including 18 cohorts of My Home Life England's flagship Professional Support and Development Programme (PSDP).
The organisation reported that working with these 322 care leaders created a positive ripple effect, impacting approximately 10,000 people receiving care and support and their families.
Other key outcomes highlighted included:
- 98% reported an improvement in the quality of their management and leadership.
- 97% found that their understanding of how to improve the culture of care had increased.
- 95% said that the quality of their engagement with their team had improved.
- 93% said that their sense of personal achievement from work had increased.
- 94% felt that their professional confidence had increased.
- 81% reported an increased confidence to be able to meet Care Quality Commission (CQC) requirements.
- 91% said the quality of practice in their care setting increased.
- 54% said that inappropriate hospital admissions had decreased.
Evaluating these outcomes in its new report, My Home Life England argued that participation in a programme had a clear and significant impact on care leaders, helping them grow in professional confidence, strengthen their leadership skills, and build supportive peer relationships that reduced feelings of isolation.
In addition, the organisation's analysis suggested that leaders developed greater self-awareness and resilience, improved their ability to set boundaries, and achieved a healthier work–life balance.
Overall, according to My Home Life England, by creating a safe space for care leaders to connect and learn from peers, acquire practical tools and strengthen their leadership practice, the programmes supported significant professional growth.
Commenting on the key leadership outcomes revealed in My Home Life England's new report, one care leader said, 'I've gained significant insight into my resilience and adaptability in the face of professional challenges. This course has taught me the importance of self-reflection and continuous personal development, which has enhanced my leadership skills and deepened my understanding of how to foster a supportive and empowering environment for both staff and residents.'
