The review into skills and leaderships needs in the social sector has today published its response on a new blog site www.leadingsocial.org.uk. The response follows a six month review at the invitation of Minister for Civil Society, Nick Hurd MP, led by Dame Mary Marsh and supported by a working group of representatives from across the social sector.

The review has identified eight critical areas where there are skills and leadership needs, with recommendations on how the sector and the Government can respond.

Andrew Barnett, Director of the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation UK Branch, is leading on the strand of the review associated with Collaboration in the Social Sector.
