Overview
There is no planned implementation date for the Liberty Protections Safeguards and it is unclear if they will be implemented as originally drafted. We are closely following any developments in this area and will adapt and amend the course accordingly should either the legislation or relevant Code of Practice and statutory regulations be subject to change. This course provides health and social care professionals with an introduction to both the Mental Capacity Act 2005 and Mental Health Act 1983.It provides you with an opportunity to critically examine the concepts of mental capacity and mental disorder within the context of the current policy and legislative framework relating to this field of practice. Your studies will be focused on the context within which these Acts are applied and how they relate to a wider safeguarding agenda. This course will assist you to develop the competences required in order to relate your learning to your own practice.
