Description
This is a one day course suitable for social work and health professionals working across all adult social care and health services.
It would also be suitable and helpful to partner agencies, such as Housing, carers services and advocates.
Updated for 2022, this course will support all social care and health professionals working with adults that self-neglect (including hoarding).
The training takes a person-centered approach throughout, focussing on how to engage with adults and adopt motivational interviewing techniques to promote change and build resilience.
Participants will also consider when self-neglect (including hoarding) may be a safeguarding issue, how to assess risk, how and when to use the Mental Capacity Act and how the inherent jurisdiction of the court can be sought when a person has capacity.
The importance of collaboration will be discussed and learning from Safeguarding Adult Reviews (SAR’s) explored.
At the end of the day, participants will be supported to apply their learning to a range of complex case studies and reflect on different practice approaches.
This course is delivered by our expert facilitators who will bring their first hand experience and tailor the course to suit your learning needs.
