Free MCA Learning Pack available here
We've designed a FREE Mental Capacity Act 2005 learning pack to help you learn more about the Mental Capacity Act 2005 and be able to run a course on it !
The introduction of the Mental Capacity Act in April and October 2007 put into law much of what had previously been seen as ‘good practice’. The Act provides clarity for staff and a protection for them provided they follow its guidance.
Staff from care homes for older people and those from domiciliary care agencies need to have a working knowledge of the Act so they can support people in their care who may lack the mental capacity to make some decisions.
They also need to have confidence and competence to challenge other people who may not be aware of the legislation, in support of their clients.
This learning pack will help them achieve this.
