Course Outline

The Mental Capacity Act and DoLS workshop will enable you to examine these two important pieces of legislation.  Staff need to understand the impact of these laws on their work and how it underpins the way they should care for clients.  CQC inspectors often  check staff understanding of these laws during the inspection process.   This workshop creates a real understanding of why the laws are in place and builds confidence to discuss how they are used in practice  Learners will take part in discussions about the Mental Capacity Act and Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards.  They will examine case studies, take part in a series of exercises and observe film footage to satisfy a range of learning styles.
