At the Homelessness series
Jess Harris presented emerging findings from the MCA study
Over 220 people attended yesterday’s webinar in the Homelessness series at King's, in which Jess Harris presented early emerging findings from the NIHR HSDR-funded study, Use of the Mental Capacity Act 2005 (MCA) with people experiencing multiple exclusion homelessness in England.
The findings were drawn from a set of scoping interviews with a range of senior professionals working with this population. The presentation focused on the professionals’ views of the challenges around use of the MCA in this space.
These interviews have already informed the development of our national survey of health, social care and homelessness practitioners which is the current stage of the study (and which is live and takes about 10 minutes).
