Assessing someone’s mental capacity – their ability to make decisions for themselves – requires a clear set of guidelines and procedures. This training programme has been designed to guide you through this process. The course looks at the Mental Capacity Act and the five key principles involved in assessing mental capacity. It explains how to help someone make decisions for themselves. It also takes you through the two-stage test involved in making a capacity assessment if you should need to do so. It looks at who may need help, how to help and the extra support you may need to do this. A key part of this training is to emphasise the importance of keeping the person at the centre of the decision-making process and acting sensitively.
