About your Course
The Mental Capacity Act 2005 was created to protect the rights of any individual who lacks the mental capacity to make decisions for themselves.
This can include individuals with severe and enduring mental health issues, through to those with dementia and other conditions that affect the mind.
The legislation is intended to identify when someone lacks capacity and requires a third party to advocate for them to reflect their best interests or their personal goals.
