Good decision-making in practice

The decisions made by those working in adult social care daily directly impact people’s lives. However, decision-making is complex, nuanced, and often presents dilemmas. 

Join a workshop that will explore the updated Research in Practice Good decision-making in adult social care resources.  

In this session, we will examine the foundations and principles to underpin good judgement and look specifically at how to work through dilemmas arising from limited resources, high-risk situations, and technology.

Learning outcomes

As a result of attending this workshop participants will be able to:

  • Ground their decision-making in principles of wellbeing, equity and rights.
  • Draw on co-production, the law, evidence and good practice to make justifiable decisions.
  • Increase confidence in engaging with dilemmas around resources, risk and rights.
  • Gain insight and reassurance from peer reflection and discussions.
  • Use the recently updated Good decision-making in adult social care resources to support them in their practice.
