Earlier phases of the program have established it as a feasible and effective means of developing services and staff and new participants are being recruited on to the scheme throughout July. The inputs to the scheme are relatively small for each organisation, but the outcomes are substantial. Within six months, participating organisations will have a fully developed Quality Leader and a well researched plan for a new or improved service for your Black community, based on community consultation. From the Quality Leader's point of view, the scheme provides a challenging, structured development opportunity which will equip them with new skills and know-how, as well as enhancing their profile at senior levels within their organisation. The new scheme is launched in July 2002, so if you are interested in joining, please contact: Dr. Dean Bartlett Deputy Director Management Research Centre University of North London 227-281, Holloway Road London N7 8HN.
