MILE Pathway newsletter – Understanding the Mental Capacity Act

This week, we’re focusing on the Mental Capacity Act (MCA) and Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS)—key legal frameworks that protect the rights of individuals who may lack capacity or require support to make decisions in particular areas of their life.

DoLS were set to be replaced by the Liberty Protection Safeguards (LPS), but in April 2023, the government announced a delay in implementation. While the future timeline remains uncertain, now is a great time to refresh your knowledge on some of the key issues in this area.

Read on for local courses, key guidance, and practical resources to support you and your teams.
