Overview

The Mental Capacity Act (2005) operates on the principle that individuals who are unable to make decisions for themselves, or who lack the capacity to be held responsible for their actions, should be protected by law. If, despite a carer's best attempts to assist someone in making a decision, it is concluded that a decision should be made on the individual's behalf, it is imperative that such a decision is made with that person's best interests at heart. Carers can use a Code of Practice to determine how best to ensure decisions are made in an individual's best interest within a care environment.
This learning plan aims to provide an understanding of the term 'mental capacity', how it is assessed as well as outlining the principles of the Mental Capacity Act and how it applies to carers.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
