“The Mental Capacity Act, 2005 (the Act) provides the legal framework for acting and making decisions on behalf of individuals who lack the mental capacity to make particular decisions for themselves. Everyone working with and/or caring for an adult [aged 16 years and over] who may lack capacity to make specific decisions must comply with the Act when making decisions or acting for that person, when the person lacks the capacity to make a particular decision for themselves. The same rules apply whether the decisions are life-changing or everyday matters” (Mental Capacity Act Code of Practice 2007:15). The aim of this policy is to support compliance with the Mental Capacity Act 2005 setting out the principles, practice and responsibilities of Derbyshire Community Health Services NHS Foundation Trust staff (DCHS staff) when caring for a person aged 16 years and over. The term person will be used to identify a patient/client/user of DCHS services and the Act will used to identify the Mental Capacity Act 2005.
