The Legal Framework for Consent and Capacity While Supporting Someone with a Learning Disability.
When: Tuesday 14th October 2025 (12pm to 12.45pm)
Aim
To provide an overview of what is meant by capacity and consent and the legal framework for suporting decision making with someone with a learning disability.
In the NHS and social care, we must obtain a person’s consent before providing any care or treatment. Consent means a person’s voluntary and informed agreement to receive the proposed care or treatment. This process should begin with a clear explanation of what is being proposed, including its purpose, potential risks and benefits, and any reasonable alternatives. But what does it take to ensure consent is valid — and what key factors should we consider? In this webinar we will exploire
-
What is consent ?
-
What valid consent requires?
-
What happens when someone lacks capacity?
-
Legal framework: Mental Capacity Act 2005
-
What is a capacity assessment?
-
Key principles of a capacity assessment.
We will email you the Teams link 24 hours before the scheduled webinar start date.
