Podcasts

Following recommendations from a number of Safeguarding Adults Review on the need to raise awareness and improve practice in relation to the Mental Capacity Act the WSAB have developed a serise of Podcasts and Webinars. These were developed in collaboration with people and families who have experience of health and care services and give overview of the legislative frameworks, as well as taking time to explore how this may be received by the person, their parents and carers.

Whilst they were primarily designed for professional they are also be helpful for families, carers and other practitioners who want more information
