Mental Capacity & DOLS (Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards)

This is a half-day course syllabus. The syllabus covers the Mental Capacity Act (MCA), the five fundamental principles, the code of practice, and why we need them.

We teach how to assess mental capacity and best interests and recording documentation. We also cover Adult Protection and DOL (Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards), recognising restraint and consent. We end with a written test.
