Local authorities

Mental health issues are common in people seeking help from local authorities. However, surveys show that housing staff, safeguarding boards, social workers, and others offering these services have a variable knowledge base around mental disorders and often feel a lack of confidence in their skills to deal with problems that arise. Expectations from service users, their families, and a variety of regulators mean this needs to be addressed better. Maudsley Learning understands the issues and takes a tailored approach to helping you and your organisation deal with the challenge, whether you work in a healthcare organisation or a body that interfaces with healthcare services. All our courses are delivered by a highly-skilled clinical teaching faculty.
