When someone is given responsibility over others – as a supervisor or team leader or line manager – basic facilitation skills become very useful.

Over the last three years we’ve been working with the Centre for Research on Families & Relationships (University of Edinburgh) on an NHS funded project designed to support leaders to develop care practice.  It became evident that the lack of facilitation skills among staff at that level was getting in the way of practice improvement. 

So our attention focussed on how team leaders could develop the skills they need a) to stimulate and facilitate discussion and b) to use that to improve practice.  The methods and processes we used were pulled together into a Practical Guide called “Let’s Talk About It”.
