It focuses on the values and behaviours that provide the foundations for effective leadership in social care.  Level 4 Certificate Workers with excellent care and support skills may find themselves unprepared for the very different knowledge and skills required as a manager. While welcoming the Level 4 Diploma in Adult Care (2015) for senior practice roles, employers have continued to call for a direct route from Level 3 into management. The Level 4 Certificate in Principles of Leadership and Management for Adult Care (Level 4 Certificate) addresses this progression need. The Level 4 Certificate maps closely to Skills for Care’s Manager Induction Standards (2016) and both align with the Level 5 Diploma in Leadership and Management of Adult Care (Level 5 Certificate). As such the Level 4 Certificate can also be used by managers new in post as an accredited route to the Manager Induction Standards. Level 5 Diploma Revised Level 5 Diploma available from January 2017 Leadership & Management programmes on-going learning means that managers are better placed to support the delivery of quality care
