Mental Capacity Act workbook: Six scenarios for training

This learning resource promotes best practice in the use of the Mental Capacity Act 2005 and where appropriate the Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (2009), particularly in the context of situations involving health related decisions. The resource provides a series of short film scenarios that challenge the viewer to consider the ethical issues in any given situation, and to encourage debate about potential decision making outcomes. It is the intention that these scenarios illustrate everyday situations, and whilst they may not demonstrate perfect practice, the aim is that they promote discussion and debate.
