To make this programme accessible to trusts of all sizes and capacities, we have developed three models of partnership. Each offers a different level of involvement, allowing partners to engage at the level that best suits their context, resource, and ambition.

Work with us to deliver the programme. We offer a flexible approach to partnership:

1.

Hub Partners, hosting local cohorts and supporting recruitment while CCW delivers teaching.

2.

Capacity-Building Partners, 
co-delivering with CCW lecturers to grow local expertise.

3.

In-House Delivery Partners, leading delivery directly as part of a national quality framework.
