For Leeds Safeguarding Week (Monday 18th-Friday 22nd November 2024), we will be running a webinar as part of a series of talks throughout the week. Our webinar will be about advocacy within safeguarding processes, with a focus on Care Act Advocacy.
The webinar will cover:
- The criteria for using care act advocacy through safeguarding processes.
- What clients (and professionals) can expect of the advocate, and the role of the local authority in facilitating advocacy involvement.
- What ‘substantial difficulty’ means under the Care Act.
- Who may be an ‘appropriate individual’ to facilitate a person’s involvement in the safeguarding processes and the overlap between Care Act advocacy and other types of statutory and non-statutory advocacy.
It is free to attend and is for professionals in the Leeds area who support people through the Care Act assessment process.
When is the webinar?
The webinar is on Monday 18th November from 2pm-3pm. It will be held online on Microsoft Teams and is free to attend. To sign up, please click on the link below:
