This book provides a theory-to-practice breakdown of the Mental
Capacity Act 2005 and what its implications are for health and
social care workers. Informative and accessible, it provides a
clear depiction of the ethos behind the Act and offers instruction
for its effective, lawful and person-centred application. This
practical guide describes how to assess capacity and what a good
assessment of capacity should look like, how to deal with conflicts
and dilemmas, and the role of legal authority in decision-making. A
Practical Guide to the Mental Capacity Act 2005 is an invaluable
resource for any health and social care professionals working with
individuals who lack decision-making capacity.
This book provides mental capacity practitioners with accessible
ethical guidance and applicable tools for applying the Mental
Capacity Act (MCA) 2005. It shows how clients' relationships can
impact their capacity in positive and negative ways, and which
communication skills practitioners can use to enable and empower
those with impairment. It also covers how to engage in
self-reflection and transparent debate about values to improve the
quality of assessments. Helping practitioners interpret complex
issues of mental capacity in the most beneficial way for clients,
this book is essential reading for students and practitioners of
law, medicine, mental health services and social care.
This book will help social workers and practitioners to find
achievable solutions to support autistic people - including those
with complex needs - to live fulfilling lives in their communities.
Far too many autistic people are currently in inappropriate
institutional placements, putting their basic human rights at risk
and experiencing a poor quality of life. Good quality support for
autistic people is achievable, even in a social care system under
pressure. This book will help practitioners to develop high quality
community support to facilitate discharges and prevent admissions,
by providing them with effective, practical strategies to
communicate with and more effectively support autistic people right
across the spectrum. Common assumptions and beliefs are challenged,
including the idea that 'behaviours' are an inevitable part of
autism, and practical approaches are offered to promote autonomy,
respect for human rights and empathy with autistic perspectives as
a basis for preventing distressed behaviour. This will enable
practitioners to support and empower all autistic people to achieve
a good quality of life in their communities.
