New! Domestic Abuse and People with Learning Disabilities: How to Spot it and Stop it (for Social Care Staff)
Did you know that someone with a learning disability is three times more likely to experience domestic abuse?
Our workshops are run by two women with learning disabilities, autism or both, with lived experience, supported by the Us Too Project Lead Trainer, Rod Landman.
- “We are women with learning disabilities and autism.”
- “We talk about how to get out of a bad relationship and have a happy life.”
We’ve developed our newest training course to help social care staff recognise signs of domestic abuse in people they support and help them get out of bad relationships. It is based on our recent two-year Us Too project.
Our learners say: “Warm, supportive and informative.” “Amazing experience.” “Meaningful and inspiring.”
Places cost: £65 (ARC Members) | £85 (Non-ARC Members)
New Webinars: MCA/Liberty Protection Safeguards and the Revised Code of Practice - What You Need to Know Now
The transition from Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS) to Liberty Protection Safeguards (LPS) becomes effective on 1st April 2022. Whilst the implications are not profound for social care providers, there are some important pieces of detail, changes of emphasis, and new arrangements that services will have to be aware of, prepare for, and comply with.
At the same time, a new Code of Practice covering both the Mental Capacity Act and LPS will be introduced. This should introduce more detail on fluctuating capacity and persistent unwise decisions amongst other things. It is hoped that this will be available in draft/consultation form in Autumn 2021, and should give providers a strong steer on what to expect.

Who Assesses the Assessors?
Medication Competence in Community and Residential Settings
A new ARC England live online workshop which will ensure a high quality and consistent approach to the handling of medication across your organisation.
**NICE say that ‘**Care workers completing [Medication] training should be observed and supervised by a competent person in advance of administering medication for the first time. This should be an occupationally-competent person working for the provider, not an external trainer.
Managers, supervisors and assessors are responsible for judging the competence of their care workers’ ability to safely administer medication for people who use the service.’
Managing medicines for adults receiving social care in the community, March 2017
But what is an ‘occupationally-competent’ person? And what assessment skills do they need?
This new ARC England workshop is aimed at managers, supervisors and assessors, equipping them with the skills, knowledge and confidence to assess the competence of others.
Places cost: £90 (ARC Members) | £120 (Non-ARC Members)
