Course overview



The Mental Capacity Act (MCA) is designed to protect and empower those who may lack the capacity to make their own decisions about their care and/or treatment. It also sets out a range of ways by which people can plan for a time when they are no longer able to make decisions for themselves.


Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DOLS) ensures that people are protected if they can’t consent to their care arrangements in a care home or hospital and they are deprived of their liberty.


This course is for anyone who works in a caring role, in independent living or sheltered housing and will be especially useful for those working with adults at risk.
