View all badgesTo recognise the knowledge developed through Loretto Care’s Step into leadership sessions, the Scottish Social Services Council (SSSC) in partnership with Loretto Care, created this badge for people who participate in one of the sessions. The session introduces participants to the SSSC Step Into Leadership website, the six leadership capabilities, what it means to be a leader and the positive difference this can make.
To earn this badge you need to:
- attend a Loretto Care Step into leadership session
- provide evidence of your learning on the day and consider what makes you a leader through either a reflective account, video reflection or photos of your work from the session.
None. This badge does not require you to hold any other badges.
You will need to provide a statement, of about 100 words, about what you learned during the session and how you will use this to support your development and that of others.
If you want to use a blog or ePortfolio entry as evidence, you might find our guide to preparing and publishing your evidence useful. We will also accept short audio or video statements if you prefer these formats.
Remember, the evidence you provide will be viewable by anyone who you show your badge to. Please don’t include confidential or private information within your statement.
