The Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists (RCSLT) will be launching updated, online member and public guidance: Support for decision-making and mental capacity.
This guidance helps all practicing speech and language therapists stay up to date with best practice in supporting individuals to make decisions and understanding when and where decision makers may need to be identified and consulted when mental capacity prevents individual decision making.
This project aims to develop a comprehensive resource for speech and language therapists, bringing together best practice guidance, legislation, policy, evidence, learning resources and practical tools in one place. The guidance will support members working across a range of settings, sectors and client groups, while recognising differences in legislation across the UK nations.
