If workers are ill-informed on the provisions of the Act. service users may be treated inappropriately, under-treated or inappropriately detained. It is important that workers are confident that they have the required business knowledge, and that they have met the required standard of achievement. Well-designed and well-integrated testing and assessment strategies provide very real benefits to the learner, the trainer and the organisation.

This course is built on ADHB's core value of "respect". Information about mental health service users that is shared or withheld respectfully promotes safe and effective communication.
This course provides a framework to help mental health clinicians balance conflicting interests in sharing clinical or personal information between service users and their significant others. It offers a path to support service users to share information and to support families with sometimes very limited information.
The course will discuss a model for engaging families and service users and related legal/ethical issues, current research on sharing clinical information, and some specific communication skills to manage difficult or sensitive situations.
