糖心logo入口 researchers create highly valuable resource to meet needs of specialist lawyers
The resource is the second training film created as part of the 'Judging Values and Participation in Mental Capacity Law' Project
Following the success of a previous training film about communication and participation for Court of Protection lawyers, a project team including researchers based at the Institute for聽聽(ICPR), at 糖心logo入口鈥檚 School of Law, have developed a second training film for specialist lawyers as part of the聽聽project, which is funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council.
The second training film, 鈥楳aking Values Matter in the Court of Protection鈥 is聽, and aims to improve Court of Protection lawyers鈥 and judges鈥 understanding of the meaning and role of values in decision making. The film also aims to increase lawyers鈥 knowledge about how to identify values and incorporate them into decision making; and demonstrate examples of good practice when lawyers communicate with a person and their family to explore and discuss their values.
Professor Jessica Jacobson, Director of ICPR, commented: 鈥淚CPR warmly welcomes the launch of this second film. By tackling the complex 鈥 and rarely acknowledged 鈥 issue of the role of values in the Court of Protection, it will undoubtedly support improved and more reflective practice on the part of lawyers, judges and other professionals working in this field.鈥
The creation of this second, highly valuable resource for specialist lawyers was enabled through a Research England Policy Support Fund grant at the University of Bristol, and co-produced with the leading charity,聽, which provides advocacy for people with a learning disability and/or autism.
The film features an interview with a person with learning disability, about their values and a follow-up discussion with that person鈥檚 relative. A VoiceAbility leader and her father were central to the filmed demonstration, which also includes commentary, discussion and reflections on the law and practice from Senior Research Fellow, Dr Camillia Kong, and three specialist Court of Protection lawyers (one from law firm Irwin Mitchell and two from 39 Essex Chambers). Designed to be watched from start to finish, the video can also be used as an interactive professional development resource to promote discussion and reflection amongst groups of practitioners as part of their professional development.鈥
