Not-for-profit quality care for over 25 years

NCF launch annual partnership with HRMNY Ltd to provide members with DoLS and Mental Capacity Act assessment support  

The National Care Forum (NCF) – the leading association for not-for-profit social care is pleased to announce an annual partnership with HRMNY. 

HRMNY is the UK’s first statutory workflow platform designed specifically for Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS) and mental capacity assessments. It helps care providers coordinate information, organise evidence and work more effectively with local authorities and assessment professionals throughout the statutory process. It supports workflows by identifying gaps, highlighting relevant guidance and improving consistency, while ensuring that professional judgement remains firmly at the centre of every decision.  

Vic Rayner OBE, CEO at NCF said: “We’re extremely pleased to be able to bring our not-for-profit members the opportunity to benefit directly from the expert support provided by HRMNY at such a crucial time for providers following the Supreme Court’s latest decision in relation to DoLS and the more complex, multi factorial judgements that are now needed. Assessments can sometimes be difficult to navigate and when they require organisations to provide information to a number of different bodies via a variety of platforms, these issues can be exacerbated leading to the risk of error.  

“Members will be interested to understand how HRMNY addresses these challenges by bringing every stage of the DoLS and mental capacity pathway into one secure platform, enabling organisations to collaborate seamlessly, eliminate duplication, maintain a complete audit trail and ensure assessments and decisions meet the latest legal and regulatory requirements. We look forward to working with HRMNY to showcase these capabilities at our first joint webinar on 24th September and continue to do so as our partnership progresses.” 

Neil Hope, CEO & Co-Founder of HRMNY commented: “HRMNY is delighted to be working in partnership with NCF to deliver advice and support to not-for-profit care and support providers. Across the not-for-profit care and support sector, providers are increasingly expected to manage complex statutory, regulatory and assurance responsibilities while working with local authorities, NHS organisations, commissioners, safeguarding teams, housing partners, families and other professionals. 

“It gives the HRMNY team and I immense satisfaction to be able to support NCF’s members with crucial advice in making judgements on assessments such as DoLS and the Mental Capacity Act, at a time when compliance obligations are becoming increasingly complex for providers. We look forward to exploring the real-world difficulties members are experiencing with these assessments. However, we know that compliance challenges go much further than this, and we look forward to picking up on wider conversations with members at our first webinar in September to find out other areas where our help may be needed.”
