The Mental capacity Act 2005 provides a statutory framework for
people who lack the capacity to make decisions for themselves, or
for people who want to make provision for a time when they will be
unable to make their own decisions. This code of practice, which
has statutory force, provides information and guidance about how
the Act should work in practice. It explains the principles behind
the Act, defines when someone is incapable of making their own
decisions and explains what is meant by acting in someone's best
interests. It describes the role of the new Court of Protection and
the role of Independent Mental Capacity Advocates and sets out the
role of the Public Guardian. It also covers medical treatment and
the way disputes can be resolved.
