Safeguarding and Mental Capacity Conference 2012

Why attend this conference? Professionals in health and social care settings are required to make difficult decisions in complex situations, where safeguarding an adult at risk of harm and issues around mental capacity are at the forefront of practice. Increasingly practitioners, and the organisations they work in, are required to both empower and protect those most vulnerable in society; however, promoting liberty, autonomy and protection can be a difficult balancing act. The question many professionals are asking is how do we apply adequate safeguards to ensure an appropriate balance between the right of the individual to live their lives as they choose without interference from the state and a professional duty to ensure individuals at risk of harm are protected? www.cpqsw.com
