New practical intro using human rights in safeguarding
Hello All, I've been doing lots of talks to dignity champions and thought this new course would be of interest:
Good safeguarding relies on well-trained staff aware of their legal duties to protect and respect the basic rights of those they care for, this is where the British Institute of Human Rights can help.
As the leading provider of practical training on what the Human Rights Act means in practice across a range of the sectors, the British Institute of Human Rights is pleased to offer a new course for 2014 "Safeguarding and Human Rights: A Practical Introduction."
This one-day course aimed at those with safeguarding responsibilities in the public sector or voluntary/community sector, provides an overview of how the Human Rights Act can be put into practice in your work, helping you to comply with legal obligations and improve service delivery and outcomes. This course uses a variety of interactive learning styles, including presentations, group-work and case-studies, covering:
*An introduction to human rights: history, principles and context
*An introduction to the Human Rights Act: how it works, the rights
*The Human Rights Act in practice: as a practical tool for change and everyday practice
*Using a human rights approach to your work
The next course will take place on Wednesday 12 February 2014 between 10am-4pm at 25 New Inn Yard, London EC2A 3EA.
Prices are linked to a sliding scale based on the size of your organisation.

09:56 New practical intro using human rights in safeguarding
Sanchita Hosali
I'm interested in end-of-life behaviour, particularly while patients are in their own homes. In particular, are live-with relatives 'full partners in caring for the patient' - or is there an 'us & them' here ? Us & Them isn't a good idea, because the problems of communication and the communication chain are fundamental for EoL at home (especially if the patient is dying but still mentally capable).
I'm wondering what answer to the following question, which is crucial, those with an interest in 'safeguarding' would come up with ?:
Should lay and professional carers during EoL, be regarded as in equal possession of non-technical qualities ? So, while things such as clinical expertise should be recognised as varying between lay and professionals, and from clinician to clinician, should qualities such as honesty and the vaguer 'good intentions' be assumed [by guidance and protocols] present in everyone involved, unless there is some [clear] proof of 'wrong doing' ?
And I mean proof of wrong doing - not simply 'confusion'.
