Capacity
Plain English definition
From:
Think Local Act Personal (TLAP) Jargon Buster
The ability to make your own choices and decisions. In order to do this, you need to be able to understand and remember information, and communicate clearly - whether verbally or non-verbally - what you have decided. A person may lack capacity because of a mental health problem, dementia or learning disability.
