Mental capacity and deprivation of liberty

Inspired by the libertarianism movement, today i will post some random thought about mental capacity act and deprivation of liberty. A very serious problem in UK, but not a great deal in some ex-Russian countries, for example. Mental capacity act can be learned from two big books, one is green, Code of practice, the other one is blue, talking about deprivation of liberty safeguards. Both of them can be founded on the Ministry of justice website. You can also look online for AMCAT -  mental capacity audit, where you can use the tool provided to check this. Also another resource will be WWW.koha.ork.uk/imca where you can find about the independent MC advocate. Lasting power of attorney, when you leave someone to take care of your wishes, in the event of you missing mental capacity. Could be about finance and property or about health and wellfare. You will need to see an OPG 100 form to check it. Lasting power of deputy is another version, when a judge choose instead of you if needed. We can also mention advanced decisions, like a DNR - do not resuscitate. An advanced decision allow only to refuse treatment, you need to be over age of 18, have capacity and put it in writing.

Are you a bit confused? Good. Now you can do an online search to find more about.

See you soon
