Training Resources

One of the recommendations from the 'Mervyn' Statutory Safeguarding Adults Review (SAR) was to ensure that local guidance and learning opportunties accurately present the Mental Capacity Act 2005 prinicipals and provisions, and cover executive as well as decisional capacity. Similar themes have also been highlighted within the recommendations of the board's Discretionary SAR's, to meet these recommendations, officers from Cheshire East Council: Adult Safeguarding Service, and the Safeguarding Lead from East Cheshire NHS Foundation Trust worked in collaboration to produce a series of short films on use and application of the Mental Capacity Act to be used in staff training on the Mental Capacity Act 2005. 

Here is the first in what will be a series of short educational films filmed throughout 2024 & 2025. This film will support good practice in Mental Capacity Assessments and the DOLS process.
