Assessing Mental Capacity Training in brief: Assessing Mental Capacity Training is an online CPD accredited course from ProCompliance covering the five principles of the Mental Capacity Act. It takes approx. 30 minutes online, and The Globe files the certificate once they finish.
Why this training matters
Capacity is decision specific and time specific. Assuming someone lacks it, or has it, without assessment is where things go wrong.
Assessing Mental Capacity takes your team through the five principles of the Mental Capacity Act 2005 and the two stage test of capacity. It also covers how to support someone to make their own decision, how best interests decisions are made, and how to record an assessment. Managers, team leaders and HR get particular value from it.
