Join us for this engaging 60-minute webinar designed to give you a clear and practical understanding of the Mental Capacity Act at an intermediate level.

Ideal for DSLs, DDSLs, and managers working in post-16 education and training, this session will equip you with the knowledge to confidently apply key principles in line with organisational policies and procedures.

Whether you support learners directly or oversee safeguarding policies, this webinar will provide valuable insights to strengthen your approach. Don’t miss this opportunity to enhance your expertise.

Understanding the Mental Capacity Act is crucial for anyone involved in the care, treatment, and support of individuals aged 16 and over in England and Wales who can't make some or all decisions for themselves. It's designed to protect and empower these vulnerable individuals. The MCA also helps those with capacity to plan for their future, applicable to everyone over 18. The Act's five principles are essential and must guide all actions and decisions, including in relation to safeguarding.

This webinar will:
• Gain a deeper understanding of the Mental Capacity Act
• Explore decision-making, executive functioning, and consent
• Break down the five key principles of capacity assessment
• Learn practical strategies to apply these principles in safeguarding practice.
