Great message. For anyone working in health or care, a reminder: 👇 "How does mental capacity affect the right to register to vote? A lack of mental capacity is not a legal incapacity to vote. Persons who meet the other registration qualifications are eligible for registration regardless of their mental capacity. Voting rights While electors with any level or no level of mental capacity may be registered to vote, the decision as to whether and how to vote at an election must be made by the elector themselves and not by any other person on their behalf. Those who care for or who otherwise make decisions on behalf of a person may not make decisions on voting" https://lnkd.in/ecfRqHFB #PromoteTheVote #HumanRights #SocialCare #Health #Care #SocialWork

This year's general election is just around the corner. As teachers fall under the broad group of 'government servants,' teachers need to be aware of what is expected of them during the buildup to the election. To help with this, we've put together this short video and a PDF that provides an overview of how teachers can navigate this period. https://bit.ly/3DtmhiW Link to PDF https://bit.ly/45hshY7

A general election allows people in every part of the UK to choose their MP. This person will represent a local area (constituency) in the House of Commons for up to five years. There is a choice of several candidates in each constituency. Some will be the local candidates for national political parties. The candidate that receives the most votes becomes their MP. By voting, you can support a candidate who will represent your views in parliament and influence the policy issues you care about. An election is also your chance to speak out if you have a complaint about how the country is being run. Remember, voting is not the only way to participate but it’s the quickest and easiest way!   Voting is important not only because it is a civic duty but because it could change the world for the better. Did you vote yet? Every vote counts! #election2024
