What is the Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLs) training?

What does Mental Capacity Act do?

The Mental Capacity Act (MCA) protects people (ages 16 and over) who lack the mental capacity to make their own decisions about their care and treatment.

Mental Capacity Act and DoLs are important because it ensures people who can’t consent to their care arrangements in a care home or a hospital are protected if they are deprived of their liberty.
