The Mental Capacity Act (MCA) is a legal framework in England and Wales that helps protect people who may be unable to make certain decisions for themselves. It provides a clear approach to supporting individual choice, respecting autonomy and making decisions in a person’s best interests when required. Understanding the MCA is important for anyone involved in healthcare or social care, where decisions about treatment, support and daily care can directly affect a person’s rights and wellbeing. Good knowledge of the Act also helps professionals recognise when capacity may need to be considered and respond in a lawful, person-centred way.
This online Mental Capacity Act course introduces the key principles of the Mental Capacity Act and how they apply in care settings. You’ll learn how to assess mental capacity, support people to make decisions, and approach best-interest decisions when someone may lack capacity. The course also covers important areas such as consent, autonomy, least restrictive options and relevant mental health legislation. It is designed for CPD, awareness and knowledge development and can be used as a learning or refresher resource alongside your usual workplace training.Â
