The Social Care Institue for Excellence advises, "The MCA is designed to empower those in health and social care to do capacity assessments themselves, rather than rely on expert testing by psychiatrists or psychologists – good professional training is key" (Scie, 2017)

​

That's why at Nellie Supports, our Social Work team undergoes continuous professional development specifically around the assessment of mental capacity to ensure they have the best professional training meaning they really are the experts when it comes to assessing mental capacity.
