Manager training - a reading list

Tim Keilty of New Prospects, a Citizen Network group member based in the North East of England, has put together a list of resources that they use when training their managers.

Things we consider and discuss

• How did we get to where we are? History and the perils of returning.
• A big thinker who got us going – Wolfensberger
• Keeping us going – Making it work – John O’Brien et al
• John O’Brien’s 5 Valued experiences and Service Accomplishments, Simon Duffy’s Keys to Citizenship and the New Prospects Good Life outcomes.
• Learning and facilitating a MAP
• Building an Individual Service Design – thinking beyond ‘hours’ of support
