| Annotation | This booklet provides introductory information on the Mental Capacity Act 2005 for those who give advice to people who may lack the mental capacity to make some decisions for themselves and/or their carers, also for those seeking advice on planning for the future. It includes a "jargon buster" that explains the terminology, also a list of other sources of information and guidance on the Act. However, the booklet is not a statutory Code of Practice issued under the Act, and is not a guide to how the law will apply in specific situations. The Mental Capacity Implementation Programme (MCIP) is a joint government programme between the Department for Constitutional Affairs (DCA), the Department of Health (DH), the Public Guardianship Office (PGO) and the Welsh Assembly Government. The booklet was written by a team from the Advice Services Alliance Advicenow, a member organisation of the Making Decisions Alliance. (RH) |
