Welcome to this training on the new general data protection regulation (GDPR) – the final module in this suite.

Now that you know about GDPR, you can apply your knowledge by working through some different situations.

**There is an element of practical involved**

1 and 2 day Defusion and De-escalation courses are tailored to both settings which support adults with mental health difficulties and/or learning disabilities and children and young people who for a variety of reasons present challenging behaviour. This course is appropriate for residential, day care, supported living centres, educational and health settings.

This is a level 2 course under the Birmingham Safeguarding Adults Board Competency Framework, intended for all staff who may be required to undertake a statutory adult safeguarding enquiry under section 42 of the Care Act 2014. This would include social workers and staff in other partner agencies who the local authority may cause to make an enquiry on its behalf, because they are best placed to do this. Please note that there are aspects of this program that will explore aspects of the topic specific to the local authority social work role. However the majority of this 2 day course will be applicable to all who undertake adult safeguarding enquiries.

To enable delegates to gain a consistent set of underpinning knowledge and to further develop skills and confidence in applying a strength-based approach in practice

Course Outline: 

This course will provide AMHP’s with an update in relation to recent case law and examine some of the key issues identified in practice.  

The session includes best practice recommendations, current research and learning from case law to real life scenarios to allow AMHP’s to apply their knowledge, skills and experience in respect of mental health work, explore their own values and reflect on how they can improve their professional practice in their own agency and within a multi-agency context. Our legal Update Training is always bespoke and current, reflecting the most recent caselaw and best practice as well as issues identified locally as a challenge or a priority, therefore the learning outcomes for this course are unique and tailored for each occasion that it is delivered.

This course explores the perspective of the Citizen, their families and communities and challenges us to recognise, seek and redress any policy and practices which may dis-empower the service user.  The recommendations from the Mental Health Act review, updates on the progress of the liberty protection safeguards, interface with the Children Act and the thorny issue of PR and NR will be explored, as well as focus on updates in relation to the MCA/DoLS interface and recent case law will be discussed. 

Workshops will be open to all staff who would like to consider the MCA in practice. Each workshop will differ in content so please look at the agenda and see if this is for you. Places will generally be allocated on a first come basis unless there are specific demands for certain roles to attend.
