This national conference was a partnership event between the Scottish Government, Age Concern Scotland, Inclusion Scotland, the Scottish Association for Mental Health and the Scottish Consortium for Learning Disability which was aimed at raising awareness of the new Act among people who use services and their family members. It was an event where audience participation was crucial to ensure that their views and concerns would be reflected through a conference report which would be sent to Chairs of Adult Protection Committees to assist them with their strategic planning.
