[100% Off] Understanding mental capacity Free Course Coupon

Description

This free badged course, Understanding mental capacity, lasts eight weeks with approximately three hours’ study time each week. You can work through the course at your own pace, so if you have more time one week there is no problem with pushing on to complete a further study session.

You’ll start the course by looking at what mental capacity – and the lack of it – means. You will be introduced to various groups of people who are more likely to lack mental capacity, but you will also learn why it is relevant to everyone. You will look at what can be done to help someone to make a decision themselves and the principles and steps that enable people to judge, fairly, whether someone has capacity or not. You will be introduced to the legislation in the UK and will see how it supports and protects people who may lack capacity.

In the latter half of the course, you look more closely at mental capacity in relation to three groups: children and young people, people with disabilities and older people. You finish by reviewing what you have learnt and identifying if and how you would like to take the subject further.

As part of the course, you will undertake a number of quizzes, of which Weeks 4 and 8 will provide you with an opportunity to earn a badge to demonstrate your skills. You can read more on how to study the course, and about badges, in the next sections.

After completing this course, you should be able to:

explain what is meant by mental capacity
apply your knowledge about mental capacity to different scenarios and outline how to support and/or assess capacity for decision making in each case
outline what is involved in a mental capacity assessment
identify what you would like to do next in relation to mental capacity in your personal life and/or career.
