Why take this course?
Consent. It’s essential to ensure people with a disability are making decisions and in charge of their own lives. While some people can freely understand and give consent, for others, it’s not so simple – they may need support to make these decisions.
So where does that leave us now? The NDIS is uncovering areas where ‘assumed’ or ‘substitute’ consent has been the norm (read: a problematic norm). Challenging these standards and creating a future of genuine consent within the NDIS is tricky – but essential.
This two-hour training will guide providers on how to navigate the murky space between capacity and consent, as well as the NDIS consent processes (knowledge that’s becoming increasingly important with the rollout of the Supported Decision-Making policy and PACE). By the end, you’ll leave feeling better informed about the consent process and better equipped to build capacity and support participants to exercise choice and control.
