Compliance with the Mental Capacity Act 2005 (MCA) and Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS) is essential for healthcare and social care providers in the UK.
The MCA sets out the legal framework for making decisions on behalf of individuals who may lack capacity to make decisions for themselves. DoLS provide additional safeguards for individuals who are deprived of their liberty in care settings. Compliance with these regulations involves assessing individuals' capacity to make decisions, ensuring decisions are made in their best interests, and applying safeguards to protect their rights and freedoms.
By adhering to the MCA and DoLS, healthcare and social care providers ensure legal compliance, uphold the rights and dignity of individuals, and provide person-centred care.
