Course details
This comprehensive training program delves into Mental Health Care, focusing on the Mental Capacity Act (MCA) and Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DOLS). Participants will gain an in-depth understanding of assessing mental capacity, making best interest decisions, advocacy, and providing care for individuals lacking capacity. The curriculum also explores confidentiality, record keeping, and the interface with relevant legislation and policies. Furthermore, it covers the transition from DOLS to the updated Liberty Protection Safeguards (LPS), including legal backgrounds and considerations during pandemics, ensuring practitioners are well-equipped to navigate complex mental health care scenarios.
