Safety

The Mental Capacity Act (2005) helps to protect people who may not be able to make certain decisions for themselves. It provides a legal framework to ensure their needs and rights are respected.

Some vulnerable adults in care homes, hospitals and other settings cannot make decisions on their own behalf. These people need special care and protection, called deprivation of liberty safeguards, to make sure they are safe.

Suicide prevention is about supporting individuals who feel overwhelmed or hopeless and helping to save lives.
