LAC(86)15 issued by the Department of Health and Social Security (as was) in 1986:

“Approved social workers should have a wider role than reacting to requests for admission to hospital, making the necessary arrangements and ensuring compliance with the law. They should have the specialist knowledge and skills to make appropriate decisions in respect of both clients and their relatives and to gain the confidence of colleagues in the health services with whom they are required to collaborate. They must be familiar with the day-to-day working of an integrated mental health service and be able to assess what other services may be required and know how to mobilise them. They should have access to, consultation with and supervision from qualified and experienced senior officers. Their role is to prevent the necessity for compulsory admission to hospital as well as to make application where they decide this is appropriate.” 

It is suggested that this statement is as relevant today as it was in 1986

Designed for:

All adult and children and family social workers and managers.

Learning outcomes:

› To consider what "cultural competence" means to us (with a focus on race).

› To encourage the process of individual, interpersonal and organisational reflection which surfaces and explores problematic assumptions, routines and outcomes for Black, Asian and minority ethnic staff and service users.

› To support you in moving from "eggshells to allyship"; namely in creating (safe) courageous, inclusive, culturally competent workplaces where issues related to diversity can be openly discussed and addressed.

This ODP bid session has been set up for Andrea Housen's team.

Elizabeth Lisle will be facilitating.
