Ethics & Safeguarding in Mental Health

6 weeks · 0 milestones

Analyse a real or realistic ethical dilemma in mental health practice. Proof requires a written case analysis (minimum 800 words) covering: the ethical principles in tension (autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence, justice) applied to the specific case; the relevant legal framework (mental health legislation or safeguarding law in the student's jurisdiction, specifically named); the decision that was made or would be made and its rationale; and what the student would do differently in retrospect. The case must be real or directly grounded in real supervised practice — not a textbook vignette. Reviewed by a qualified mental health practitioner or clinical supervisor. The analysis documents learning from a real ethical challenge, not a theoretical discussion.
