Description
The aim of this one-day course is to equip qualified social workers and their managers with the knowledge and skills they need to apply and provide evidence to the Court of Protection.
When delivering this course face to face the first part of the day participants will use a case study to complete a court application form and prepare a COP24 evidence statement and in the second half of the day the trainer will use a mock courtroom roleplay to allow participants to test their learning about giving oral evidence in a safe but realistic environment.
