Learning Aim
This activity aims to encourage and enable professionals in England to use legal frameworks to manage and protect chronic dependent drinkers.
Its focus is on how to make most effective use of the three main legal powers which can protect vulnerable dependent drinkers:
- the Care Act 2014 in England or Social Services and Wellbeing (Wales) Act 2014,
- the Mental Capacity Act, and
- the Mental Health Act.
It also focuses on a handful of other relevant measures, such as anti-social behaviour powers. In addition, it emphasises the importance of a process framework that will enable the powers to be used most effectively.
It is important to emphasise that using these powers are, in most cases, the last resort. These powers should not replace good community work as set out in Alcohol Change UK’s Blue Light project manual.
