We’ve launched a free coaching service to support promising social care innovations across Wales.
What is the innovation coaching service?
Our coaching service is the first of its kind for social care in Wales.
It gives you access to a team of coaches who’ll help you develop your ideas to improve practice, processes, services and outcomes.
If you have a great idea you want to test on the ground, we're here to support you to do so safely and to help it reach its full potential.
Why have we created it?
We created our coaching service to help guide and support the innovation that’s happening across the social care system to develop new ways of working.
We know people working in social care are developing new ideas around the way they work all the time. Our team is here to help your idea have the biggest impact possible.
Who’s it for?
The service is for people in social care roles who are working to innovate or improve their practice to deliver better services.
We want to hear from people at any stage of their career who have ideas they want to test on the ground.
Following a selection period, the coaching itself will last six weeks.
How does it work?
Send us your ideas and we’ll consider how we can best support you.
If your project is selected to be part of the coaching service, you’ll get online support from our team of coaches, who are experts in delivering change.
They’ll help you solve problems and build the confidence to continue using your new way of working once the coaching has finished.
The service can support you from idea to implementation. Whether you need to test an idea or develop a way to understand its impact, we can help.
Everyone who takes part in the coaching service will be eligible to join our ‘coaching club’ – a network of others who've been through the same process.
Even if your project isn’t selected to be part of the coaching service, we’ll help you find other support to help move your project forward.
