The course starts with an Introduction to the Mental Capacity Act, including its key principles and objectives.

Assessing Mental Capacity is a critical component of the course, covering how to determine whether an individual has the capacity to make specific decisions and the importance of capacity assessments. Best Interest Decisions is another important aspect, focusing on how to make decisions on behalf of individuals who lack the capacity to do so for themselves, using the best interest approach.

The Court of Protection and the Office of the Public Guardian are also covered, explaining how they operate and their respective roles in the management of individuals who lack capacity.

Communication and Record Keeping is another significant component of the course, covering how to communicate effectively with individuals who lack capacity and the importance of maintaining accurate records. By the end of the course, participants will have an in-depth understanding of the Mental Capacity Act, how to assess mental capacity, make best interest decisions, understand the roles of the Court of Protection and the Office of the Public Guardian, and identify and manage deprivation of liberty safeguards.
