Mental Capacity Act 2005

This online training course on the Mental Capacity Act has been developed in association with the Department of Health. Its purpose is to update anyone with an interest in the mental health sector with the provisions of the new Mental Capacity Act.

The issues of mental capacity and addressing the needs of people affected by a lack of capacity have been characterised by the absence of guidance and consistency. The Act clarifies the situation and introduces a new framework including a Code of Practice with decision-making mechanisms designed to ensure protection and consistency. This e-learning course will help to facilitate the changes introduced by the Act and enable staff to carry out their duties competently.
