ASPire 2026: Supported self-evaluation

National Adult Support and Protection Co-ordinator

Useful for: All working in Adult Support and Protection

Welcome slide from the ASPire January 2026 session on supported self-evaluation linked to ASP

This is an ASPire webinar from January 2026. Its themes are supported self-evaluation (notably of adults for whom it is difficult to determine whether the three-point criteria applies) and risk assessment. The focus is especially on adults where there are escalating risks, repeated presentations, or continuous referral to services.

The opening session by Marion Sandilands of the Care Inspectorate explains the work of supported self-evaluation. Next there are presentations from local partners (South Lanarkshire, Moray, Dumfries & Galloway). Finally, Alan Laughland of East Lothian and Midlothian Public Protection Committee, discusses risk assessment and the TILS framework (Type of harm, Imminence, Likelihood, Severity of impact).

Slides for all sessions are also attached, along with a strengthening analysis exercise.
