Description

Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) is a recognised neurological condition that presents unique challenges for individuals, families and professionals. Despite increasing awareness, many practitioners within adult social care receive limited education regarding FND and its implications for assessment, support planning and safeguarding.

This practical guide provides social workers, care coordinators and support providers with an accessible, evidence-informed understanding of FND and its impact upon everyday life. Drawing upon current legislation, professional standards and contemporary approaches to person-centred practice, the book offers practical guidance to support compassionate, rights-based and effective care.

Topics include:

 

• Understanding Functional Neurological Disorder and functional seizures
• The Care Act 2014 and Mental Capacity Act 2005
• Assessment, safeguarding and positive risk-taking
• Strengths-based and person-centred practice
• Professional accountability and Social Work England standards
• Practical resources, appendices and reflective learning.
