Commissioning and mental capacity

It is vital that professionals working with people who lack capacity fully understand the implications of the Mental Capacity Act (MCA) 2005. SCIE's resources, including Social Care TV films, explore the sometimes difficult decisions that have to be made about mental capacity. Resources include information specifically for independent mental capacity advocates (IMCAs).
