Grandpa On A Skateboard

Renewed, updated, and refreshed, Grandpa's skateboarding back with a new edition! The Mental Capacity Act (2005) affects every member of the caring professions, but can often feel complex, inaccessible, or, at worst, irrelevant. This clear, jargon-free guide breaks the MCA framework into comprehensible pieces and shows you how to apply it in your everyday practice. This updated edition of the essential MCA guide explains what is and isn't covered by the Act, assessing 'unwise' decisions in the context of a client's best interests, 2-stage and 3-stage assessment processes, and how to record assessments so they stand up to legal scrutiny. Whether you're a new trainee or an experienced practitioner, Grandpa on a Skateboard will help you conduct robust assessments and achieve the best possible outcomes for clients and their families.
