You will look at real world cases, key legislation and the ethical decisions professionals make around issues such as consent and mental capacity.
Each week you will build your skills through guided activities that prepare you for your portfolio assessment, helping you develop confidence in recognising risk, responding appropriately and understanding your responsibilities in keeping people safe.
