Overview

The Mental Capacity Act 2005 protects people who lack mental capacity by requiring that their views and wishes are taken into account in the same way as the views of people who do have mental capacity. The act is intended to ensure that adults who lack mental capacity are treated with respect, dignity, tolerance, and kindness. It gives them the same rights as people with total mental capacity.

These safeguards will apply to a person unless they have declared that they do not want the precautions to use, or the Secretary of State has given an order under section 21(6) of the Mental Capacity Act 2005 that these safeguards do not apply.

The Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards rules ensures that if someone lacks mental capacity, they still have a fundamental right to respect their identity, dignity, and confidentiality.

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.
