Mental Capacity Law Reform

Mental Capacity Law Reform refers to updates aimed at improving how society supports and respects individuals who may lack the ability to make certain decisions for themselves. It ensures decisions are made in the person’s best interest, promoting autonomy while providing necessary protection. These reforms clarify assessment processes, strengthen safeguards, and promote least restrictive options, making decision-making fairer and more person-centered. Overall, the aim is to better uphold individuals’ rights, dignity, and independence, even when they face mental challenges affecting their capacity.
