Assessing Mental Capacity Training Reviews

This user gave this course a rating of 5/5 stars

Good introduction to assessing Mental Capacity keeping the individual at the heart of the process. Detailing 5 principles – assume capacity unless you can prove otherwise, how to help support people to make their own decisions, identify if a decision is wise/appropriate, keeping best interests for the individual and causing least restrictions. List of everyone who should and can be involved. How to ensure you give relevant info, communicate appropriately, put person at ease and how to be supportive. Details of how the 2 stage assessment should be carried out. Keep records.

This was my first introduction to being educated in understanding issues surrounding mental health and how to support an individual who may need this kind of support. I found the information to be very informative, there is a lot to take in for someone who is new to this but it was put across very well. Overall I found it very educational and interesting. Thank you .
