Enhanced AWI Practitioner training
THURSDAY 08 OCTOBER 2020
CENTRAL INVERNESS
FULL-DAY TRAINING MASTERCLASS
EVENT REGISTRATION NOW CLOSED
Event Outline
The AWI Masterclasses we delivered with Sandra McDonald in 2019 were hugely successful, with delegates awarding performance scores for the events averaging 92/100. However as a next step, delegates suggested they would like more time to put the learning into practice; to explore case studies and to undertake small group work focusing on some of the key themes.
As a result, we have developed a stand-alone Enhanced AWI Practitioner course for 2020 which offers delegates this very opportunity. The course has been designed to work for health & social care professionals, advocates, third sector practitioners and family law solicitors experienced in dealing with Adults with Incapacity (AwI) legislation (note: you do not need to have attended our 2019 series, to join this course).

Sandra holds qualifications in law, public sector management and nursing. As Public Guardian, she led a team of 80, delivering a service across the whole of Scotland. Upon retiring as the Public Guardian in the summer of 2018, Sandra established EX-PG Ltd.
