Useful Info: New Mental Capacity Act directory

Sometimes, people may lack the mental capacity to make their own decisions about their care and treatment. The Mental Capacity Act (MCA) is designed to protect and empower people. The act has been designed to support and to enhance the rights of people who may lack mental capacity.

A new directory of MCA resources, published today by the Social Care Institute for Excellence (SCIE), is an online collection of up-to-date MCA materials. Examples of good practice, and other useful content, have been submitted by professionals across all the sectors that use the MCA. All the materials that are included in the directory have been quality-assured by a panel of experts, coordinated by SCIE.
