New TURAS Learn Zone – Adults with Incapacity
A new learning zone has been launched for the health, social work and social care workforce on the Once for Scotland – Adults with Incapacity Turas learning site.
The Adults with Incapacity (AWI) learning resource supports workforce development of knowledge and understanding of the Adults with Incapacity (Scotland) Act 2000.
This short-term project is focussed on the development of AWI educational resources which are being co-produced by NES and the Mental Welfare Commission for Scotland. Along with partners and the workforce, they aim to promote a culture of continuous improvement in supporting people’s rights in the application of the Act.
The site is currently under development and the content will be continually developed as the work of the AWI project team progresses.
The site currently contains the following areas:
- welcome page
- the principles of the AWI Act
- the four levels to which the resources will be aligned
- the AWI project bulletin
- AWI masterclass
A recording of the first AWI masterclass delivered by Mr Adrian D Ward MBE in February 2023 is available on the Turas Learn site. Over 2500 people registered for this masterclass in February and feedback from those who attended was extremely positive. A second AWI masterclass by Mr Ward is planned for 24 August 2023.
Please contact nes.adults.awi@nhs.scot with any comments or feedback.
Note: You will need a Turas account to view and access the module. If you don’t have an account, you can register here.
