Courses in Wales
Through specialist training, Bond Solon helps health and social care professionals provide better care and support to young people and adults at risk, by ensuring they have the correct knowledge and skills to meet their legal and safeguarding duties.
See below for our full range of Adult Social Care courses in Wales:
Mental Capacity related courses
The Mental Capacity Act (MCA) 2005 is the legal framework designed to protect and empower individuals who may lack the capacity to make specific decisions on their own. Health and social care professionals have a legal duty to uphold the principles of the MCA in their day-to-day practice.
Failure to understand and correctly apply the MCA can undermine the fundamental rights and autonomy of those individuals who may lack capacity to make decisions for themselves.
Bond Solon offers a range of MCA related courses aimed at empowering health and social care professionals to confidently apply the MCA in the workplace to best practice standards.
Safeguarding courses
Safeguarding is about protecting people’s health, well-being and human rights, enabling them to live free from harm, abuse, and neglect. It is fundamental to health and social care.
Safeguarding sits within legal frameworks, and health and social care professionals have a legal duty to apply these into daily practice to protect the individuals they work with.
Bond Solon offers a range of safeguarding courses aimed at ensuring health and social care professionals can correctly identify, escalate, investigate and prevent cases where harm or abuse has occurred or is suspected.
Continuing NHS Healthcare Funding
Continuing NHS Healthcare is a package of care funded by the NHS for adults with a ‘primary health need’. The care can be provided in various settings, including in the individual’s own home, a care setting, or a hospice.
NHS CHC is a complex area of work, underpinned by The National Framework for Implementation in Wales 2022.
Bond Solon offers a range of CHC courses to ensure professionals fully understand and can apply the legal framework underpinning CHC and the process from end-to-end, in turn helping achieve the correct outcomes for those requiring CHC funding.
Mental Health Act courses
The Mental Health Act 1983 preserves the legal rights of those deprived of their liberty in psychiatric hospital. Such a detention can only take place when someone is suffering from a mental illness or mental disorder of a nature or degree which makes such a detention for treatment appropriate; when the risks to the person’s health or safety, or the safety of others, is so great that it is necessary for them to be deprived of their liberty for treatment, and when such treatment is available.
As can be seen, working with patients detained under the Mental Health Act is often legally complex, especially where the patient’s situation makes it necessary to consider other legal frameworks, such as the Mental Capacity Act and the Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards.
Bond Solon offers a range of courses which enable health and social care professionals to safely and legally help patients navigate their way through the mental health system, from initial mental health assessment to discharge from hospital and beyond.
