About this Event

Are you working in forensic mental health or interested in forensic practice? This new, in-person course offers a unique opportunity to explore the complex balance between individual rights and public protection across the forensic pathway — from high secure care to community settings.


🧠 Course Highlights

Morning presentations followed by interactive group work and exercises

Explore key themes including:

  • The forensic pathway from high secure care to the community
  • How we work in a rights-based way whilst having a focus on public protection
  • Bias and unconscious bias in practice
  • Examining our stance as practitioners, our value base, courage, compassion and how we retain these in complex situations
  • How system-level dynamics shape decision-making around rights and restrictions



👥 Who Should Attend?

Open to any practitioner working in or interested in forensic practice. No prerequisites required. Limited places available!

The course will be delivered by Lindsey Young (Social Work Operations Manager, TSH), Euan Williamson (Forensic MHO Practice Lead, Highland Council) and Dr Jacqueline Geddes (Principal Clinical Psychologist, NHSGGC)
