The programme was designed and delivered by FPM, a Leicester-based specialist provider of development programmes for public service managers, in partnership with The National Youth Agency. It gave more than 450 managers from every local authority in England the opportunity to develop their skills as strategic leaders as part of the Government's drive to modernise services to young people. The programme was funded by the Department for Education and Skills (DfES).
