Description

The Mental Capacity Act 2005 Code of Practice provides a statutory framework for individuals who lack the capacity to make decisions for themselves, and those who wish to make arrangements for a future when they may be unable to make decisions. This code of practice offers guidance on how the Act should be applied in practice, explaining key principles, definitions, and roles within the new Court of Protection and other key institutions. It covers essential topics such as medical treatment, dispute resolution, and the role of Independent Mental Capacity Advocates and the Public Guardian. This comprehensive guide is a valuable resource for anyone involved in decision-making on behalf of or for individuals who lack capacity. The final edition, published in 2007, ensures that the information remains up-to-date and relevant.
