Every course can be tailored to reflect your organisation's policies, procedures and the needs of the people you support.
Why Choose Castle Hill Training?
Since 2013 we have delivered practical workplace training for organisations throughout Yorkshire and across the UK.
Our MCA and DoLS training focuses on helping delegates understand how the legislation applies in real care settings rather than simply learning legal terminology.
Using realistic workplace examples and practical discussion, we help staff develop the confidence to recognise situations involving capacity, consent, restriction and deprivation of liberty while supporting lawful, person-centred care.
What Our Clients Say
"The MCA and DoLS training helped our staff understand what the legislation means in practice. The examples made a complex subject much easier to understand." - Christine, Registered Home Manager
Our Training Philosophy
Understanding the Mental Capacity Act and Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards is about far more than knowing the law. Staff need the confidence to apply legal principles appropriately while balancing individual rights, safety and wellbeing.
Our aim is to deliver practical training that helps delegates make better decisions, recognise potential issues early and provide care that is lawful, proportionate and centred on the individual.
