Leadership skills gaps ii. Behavioural / cultural challenges * A blended* approach towards a development programme is favoured, with national guidance provided for either a regional or service led delivery model for the interactive / face to face elements, supported by online learning modules * An award or accreditation providing a route to a full qualification would add gravitas and incentive to the programme, along with professionalising the sector * The largest audience for MLP will be operational and non-operational colleagues who are new and aspiring middle leaders, but the programme will also be available to all existing middle leaders. * Combination of delivery methods, such as online, face to face, action learning and interactive online sessions via Teams.
