Better Safe than Sorry? Exploring Person Centred and Less Restrictive Approaches to Providing Care & Support
7 December 2 – 4pm – book here

This workshop will help you understand the principles of the Mental Capacity Act and their relevance when working with vulnerable adults. You will be able to identify restrictive practices, and understand and apply the statutory principles related to best interest decision making and lesser restrictive options.
Participants will have the opportunity to consider the application of legislation through case scenarios and to share their own experiences of supporting choice whilst managing risk.

 

This session is presented as part of the Learning Together to Safeguard the City Week where Brighton & Hove Local Safeguarding Children Board (LSCB), the Safeguarding Adults Board (SAB) and the Safe in The City Partnership Board come together to raise awareness of safeguarding issues and promote how we can best work together to protect, and improve outcomes for, the most vulnerable in our society.

The aim of this week is to reveal and debate some of the most important issues in our city which affect individuals, their families and the wider community, as well as exploring the responsibilities of professionals in their everyday work and their contribution in keeping people safe and well.

All sessions can be booked through the Brighton & Hove Learning Gateway: learning.brighton-hove.gov.uk
