Course Title

The Mental Capacity Act

This course is endorsed by CACHE.

The Mental Capacity Act of 2005 was written to protect and restore power to vulnerable people who lack capacity, and to empower those in health and social care to assess capacity themselves. Everyone working with and caring for an adult (aged 16 and over and living in England / Wales) who may lack the capacity to make particular decisions must comply with this Act and its Codes of Practice. This short course, aimed at health and social care practitioners, provides an overview of the Act and explains the reason for its introduction.

This course can also serve as a refresher for practitioners already familiar with the Act, or for those who are responsible for ensuring staff understand their duties and responsibilities under the Act.
