Competence, capacity or parental responsibility? A guide to all three for those working with young people

This session aims to assist those working with dilemmas of practice with young people when voices need to be heard, parents have a view and the law might sound confusing. It will re-visit basic principles alongside helpful case law and is designed to provide explanations and give confidence to practitioners when the three concepts appear to collide.

Attend this session to:
• Be clearer on the three concepts of competence, capacity and parental responsibility
• Explore relevant definitions and case law
• Understand how to apply the concepts within your day-to-day practice and explain them to others
