Plain British summary
A registered person must comply with Regulations 9 to 20A while running a regulated activity. If another registered person has already done what is required, you do not have to duplicate that work. For decisions about whether a service user aged 16 or over lacks capacity, the Mental Capacity Act 2005 applies.
