Overview
Our focus this year will be the theory, practice and politics of supported decision-making and support for the exercise of legal capacity. We will adopt a cross-cultural approach to the challenge, with particular attention to recent developments in Scotland (which has recently completed an intensive review of mental health and mental capacity legislation), Japan (which was recently reviewed by the UN Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, and where new pilot programs are underway), and Australia (which has long been a global leader in practices for decision-making support).
This year’s summer school will be conducted in English and Japanese (translation services provided) and is co-sponsored by the Essex Autonomy Project, The Essex Human Rights Centre, and Supported Decision-Making Japan.
