Prevent is part of the UK's counter terrorism strategy. This workshop will help participants to identify the issues and preventative measures from the Government strategy aimed at tackling the radicalisation of individuals, both in the UK and elsewhere (stopping people from becoming a terrorist or supporting terrorists or violent extremists).

The Counter-Terrorism and Security Act 2015 places a legal duty on the local authority to have “due regard to the need to prevent people from being drawn into terrorism”. This includes ensuring frontline staff have a good understanding of Prevent and how to refer when concerns are raised.

Annual refresher to update your knowledge on the Mental Capacity Act

Course Outline: Mental Capacity Act Refresher: Learning Lessons from Court of Protection Cases delivered by ST Thomas Training

The training will look at a range of cases which have been considered by the Court of Protection, to see what lessons can be learnt for our everyday practice.

Mental Capacity Act cases go to the Court of Protection either where there is conflict amongst the people involved, and/or where the issue is so serious or complicated that it cannot be resolved through meetings and negotiation. The rulings of the Court, and the reasons for those rulings, can be invaluable in helping health & social care practitioners deal with similar issues in their own practice. 

Who should attend?

Anyone who works in a health and/or social care setting (eg hospitals, social worker teams, OT, ISA, residential or community care, GP surgeries etc). Participants should already be familiar with the Mental Capacity Act and the Code of Practice, because this is not an awareness session and designed has an annual refresher after delegates have completed MCA L1, L2 & L3.
