Advanced Mental Capacity Act

Advanced Mental Capacity Act (MCA) Course (Three day)

The Cornwall and Isles of Scilly Safeguarding Adults Board (CIoS SAB) has commissioned a two year programme that will enable practitioners to confidently use, advocate and support others to apply the Mental Capacity Act (MCA, 2005) in practice. Please note that delegates must be available to attend all three days for their cohort.

The course is being delivery by Making Connections and is structured to support delegates to share learning within their agencies. Any requirement to support delivery of formal or informal sessions will be determined within each agency and should be discussed with your line manager prior to application. Manager commitment and support for attendance is required for a place to be allocated.

To request a place, please complete the MCA Commitment Form and return to lynsey.johns@cornwall.gov.uk
