Learner Testimonials About Level 5 Diploma In Leadership and Management For Residential Childcare

“After years of working on the floor, moving into a management role required a totally different skillset. This course helped me bridge that gap. The reflective tasks made me rethink how I communicate, and I’ve noticed the children and staff benefiting from a more consistent and organised home environment.”

Lorraine M.

Deputy Manager

“Stepping into leadership in a residential childcare setting felt overwhelming at first, especially managing a team with mixed levels of experience. The Level 5 Diploma helped me understand how to lead with clarity and confidence. I now approach difficult conversations calmly, and my team actually looks to me for direction”

Simon B.

Residential Care Manager

“What really made this qualification work for me was the supportive structure. Even with a demanding rota and family commitments, the assessor worked around my schedule and kept me motivated. The course felt achievable without being easy and finishing it has given me a huge sense of pride all thanks to Access Skills.”

Amina Y.

Senior Practitioner

“After six years in leadership, I didn’t realise how much more there was for me to learn. The Level 5 programme really broadened my perspective, and it’s amazing to think it all started from attending their free webinars. The leadership modules were practical, relevant, and rooted in real situations we face every day in residential childcare. It genuinely strengthened the way I lead.”
