MCA and DoLS
Our MCA and DOLs training will give all learners strong knowledge of mental capacity and how to apply this towards their duty of care to the vulnerable individuals they support.
The Deprivation of Liberty Act protects the most vulnerable individuals in care homes, hospitals, and their own homes. It plays an important role in preventing the unlawful deprivation of liberty occurring.
The course contains several sections covering a large amount of material concerning;
- Mental Capacity Assessment

- What support and protection is available for decision makers
- What the term ‘Best Interest’ means

- How to work in the best interests of individuals
