Some feedback from today’s Mental Capacity and Deprivation of Liberty for 16-17 year old half day training.

“Just wanted to say that this was the best training I’ve had on MCA and SO SO SO needed for our children with disabilities team, which is really just getting to grips with this work. The facilitator was really engaging which is not easy online!”

This means the world to us at Mental Capacity Cat. We really do appreciate all feedback positive and constructive.

Occasionally, we get feedback like the above and we’re just grateful for every person we connect with and bring a positive learning experience to!

Thank you!! 🐾
