The aim of this webinar is to support you to explore your responsibilities under the Mental Capacity Act guidance and legislation. It will assist you in providing day-to-day care and support and to be aware of your duties and responsibilities under the Mental Capacity Act 2005. It will help you to support people to make decisions, assist you in identifying when a mental capacity assessment is required and how to carry one out appropriately. We will be using video scenarios and group discussions to enable you to build your understanding of the Act and how it relates to practice. You will also briefly explore how ‘best interests’ decisions are made and gain awareness of Liberty Protection Safeguards.
