Online briefing: Non-fatal Strangulation In 2022 a new offence of non-fatal strangulation and suffocation came into force in England and Wales.

Online session: Self-Neglect-Case based discussion Self-neglect is a global public health problem, it is under recognised, under reported and poorly understood. Much of the literature on self-neglect is focused on understanding the phenomenon as well as the causes, and consequences. There appears to be less literature on professional perceptions and attitudes about self-neglect. The aim of this interactive session is to explore the issue of self-neglect through case-based discussion and sharing experiences. The objective is to generate ideas as to how we can reduce self-neglect, and gain a deeper understanding, of the perceptions and experiences of professionals working with individuals who self-neglect. Including discussion of stigma, trauma, social isolation, and mental capacity in the context of decision making and self-neglect. This event is hosted by Bradford Safeguarding Partnership |
