Oldham Safeguarding Adults Board (OSAB) partner agency, Pennine Care NHS Foundation Trust (PCFT), have produced a new 7-Minute Briefing to support good practice in relation to Mental Capacity assessment and Executive Functioning. Click on the link or image below to take a look.

PCFT 7-Minute Briefing - Executive Functioning

7-Minute Briefings are based on research which suggests that seven minutes is an ideal time span in which to concentrate and learn. Learning for 7 minutes is manageable in most services and often more memorable as it is necessarily brief and not clouded by other issues and pressures. These short, safeguarding snapshots can be a helpful way to support team learning. Please discuss this briefing within your teams, complete the OSAB 7-Minute Briefing Team Discussion Feedback Form to record and evidence how you have used the briefing and send a copy to OSAB. 

OSAB regularly produces briefings to support professional safeguarding practice. Each briefing covers an area of practice, a summary of key research or guidance or learning from audits and serious cases. These briefings are produced to raise awareness and to promote reflective discussions amongst practitioners within Oldham partner agencies and can be found on the ‘Briefings’ page.
