“The training delivered by Lizzie was really engaging and thought provoking. As a registered professional who carries out Mental Capacity Assessments regularly, I found the case examples and information she shared was invaluable. It really made me think more broadly about the people we work with and how to carry out assessments in difficult circumstances” - Anonymous
