From the rear cover

Along with an increased awareness of the problem, there have been several legislative changes implemented over the past decade relating to the assessment and care of people who suffer from intellectual impairment (previously called 'learning disabilities'). The second edition of Risk Assessment in People with Learning Disabilities reflects these important legislative updates while continuing to demystify the process of assessing risk for people with intellectual impairment.

Carol Sellars presents a succinct step-by-step approach to defining the problem before enumerating the ways of assessing risk and the process of presenting and utilizing the information collected. For this new edition Sellars also revisits and finely hones each of the techniques outlined in her earlier work in light of the recent legislative changes, most notably the Mental Capacity Act. Comprehensive coverage of how to assess a person's capacity to consent is also included, as well as implications of new guidelines issued in relation to the Care Programme Approach (CPA) for those with mental health problems. Risk Assessment in People with Learning Disabilities, Second Edition represents the most up-to-date resource for clinicians and carers alike to help improve the lives of people with any, and all manner, of diminished intellectual capacity.
