Assessing Complexity in Complex Cases: lessons from research and practice
Full day On Campus Workshop.

Date: Wednesday 27th November 2024

Target Audience: Frontline adult social care staff in first contact settings. Adult social care assessors. Adult social care providers.

Overview: This on campus master class will revisit the core elements of the MCA and assessing capacity. We will be exploring the impact of caselaw and developments in practice such as the discussions around executive and functional capacity and when the diagnostic test does and doesn't apply. We will do this using case studies where more detailed considerations need to take place either due to the complexity of the decision i.e.  sexual relationships and the internet or difficulties arising from diagnosis such as frontal lobe paradox.
