Legal issues related to Advocacy - in all its guises

This half day course aims to familiarise staff concerned with advocacy rights with the legal framework for the triggering of mandatory obligations to support people’s participation in statutory decision-making through advocacy.

This course assumes a basic understanding of the advocacy frameworks in the Mental Capacity Act 2005, the NHS Act 2006, the Care Act 2014 – and ideally a basic awareness of the framework for advocacy in the Mental Health Act 1983 and Children & Families Act 2014.
