Applying the Mental Health Act 2007: e-learning course

See also Mental Capacity Act

The Mental Health Act gained Royal Assent on 19th July 2007 and is part of a number of measures to update mental health legislation. This online training course on the Mental Health Act will help you to understand how to apply the Act in your daily work. Its purpose is to update anyone with an interest in the mental health sector with the provisions of the new Act This course is not designed to help you understand mental health issues per se although it will help you understand what is meant by the term 'mental disorder'. This e-learning course can be used in addition to conventional training in the Mental Health Act and is a useful alternative for those who prefer to work at their own pace and at a time and place of their choosing.

It will help you understand how the Mental Health Act (MHA) relates to other relevant legislation such as the Mental Capacity Act (MCA). It provides pertinent case studies which help you decide when you might look for the Mental Capacity Act to guide you and when you would need to understand the powers provided under the Mental Health Act? This course will be updated with any amendments to the Code of Practice and new guidance on the rules governing the deprivation of liberty when they become available.
