The 2nd webinar from this HSCWRU-led study will share and discuss the findings from its 2024 national survey, the first to learn from social care, health and homelessness practitioners across England about their thinking and experiences on this topic, including ways to improve practice.

Factors such as poor mental health, substance use, effects of trauma and service mistrust, and executive dysfunction in this population mean that assessments under the Mental Capacity Act 2005 (MCA) can be particularly challenging. This study is exploring what makes a 'good' assessment and if we should be thinking more, and differently, about mental capacity.

Thank you to the 674 survey respondents who contributed to this phase of the study.

This event will be led by Jess Harris and Stephen Martineau from the Homelessness Research Programme at HSCWRU, King's College London.
