Defensible Decision Making: legal literacy in adult social care.

Date: Wednesday 16th January 2024

Time: 9:30 - 13:00

This is a half day online seminar.

Legal, ethical and evidential reasoning will be the focus. Drawing from the work of a range of academics and legal experts (such as Michael Preston-Shoot, Suzy Braye and Alex Ruck Keane), we will explore the dimensions that make up legally, ethically defensible decisions in practice with adults.

Facilitated by specialist staff from SHU, this will be an opportunity to draw together the learning from recent case law and safeguarding adults reviews and reflect on the implications for decision making in adult social care.
