The Mental Capacity Act and the five fundamental guidelines for determining mental capacity are covered throughout the course. It describes ways to assist someone in making decisions on their own. It also guides you through the two-stage exam required to do a capacity assessment if necessary. It examines who could need assistance, how to assist, and any further support you might require to do so.
Emphasizing the value of putting the individual at the centre of the decision-making process and responding sensitively is a significant component of this training.
