Social care Ireland are delighted to collaborate with the Open Training College (OTC) on the following series of online events. This is a bespoke series of events from the OTC Management programme. The importance of personal and professional development for managers working within human services cannot be overstated and possessing such skills contributes tangibly to quality service provision. When undertaking this series of workshops, the manager will be introduced to key management skills to develop a positive behavioural team culture and the benefits for effective management of human services. These workshops will introduce participants to behaviours that challenge explaining why this topic is a key issue in services. Definitions, as they relate to young people, will be presented and explored as well as identifying the rational for adopting positive techniques. Participants with also review relevant standards and regulations and the general legal and policy framework. Emphasis will be placed on developing proactive strategies along with functionally equivalent skills.

The material presented in this module dealing with managing positive behaviours and its ‘best practice’ application ensures that the manager will be presented with key information that will contribute to and enhance their professional development and, in turn, quality service provision.

Aim: The aim of this series of online events is to introduce the student to managing a positive behavioural team culture, the role and responsibilities of the first line manager with a focus on the personal and professional skills and attributes required to fulfil this complex role effectively.

Objectives: The series of online events has the objective of encouraging and facilitating the participant to consider and reflect on their role as a first line manager and to identify strengths and areas for development of this role currently and into the future. It also facilitates the participant to reflect upon ethical decision making and to consider the consequences in respect to this process within a human service setting.
