The Organisation
The MHC is an independent statutory body established in April 2002 under the provisions of the Mental Health Acts 2001-2018 (“the 2001 Act”). The principal functions of the MHC, as specified in the 2001 Act, are to promote, encourage and foster the establishment and maintenance of high standards and good practices in the delivery of mental health services and to take all reasonable steps to protect the interests of persons detained in approved centres. The MHC is also empowered to undertake such activities, as it deems appropriate to foster and promote these standards and practices.
The Assisted Decision Making (Capacity) Act 2015 (“the 2015 Act”) provides for the establishment of the Decision Support Service (“the DSS”) within the MHC to support decision-making by and for adults with capacity difficulties and to regulate individuals who are providing support to people with capacity difficulties. The 2015 Act reforms Ireland’s capacity legislation which has been in place since the 19th century. It establishes a modern statutory framework to support decision-making by adults who have difficulty in making decisions without help.
Please note that all reference to the Mental Health Commission include the Decision Support Service.
Please find below the information booklet and the application form. All interested parties must complete the relevant application form and submit to mhc@osborne.ie. Only candidates who complete the application forms will be considered within the remit of this competition.

An Eagraíocht
Is comhlacht reachtúil neamhspleách é an MHC a bunaíodh i mí Aibreáin 2002 faoi fhorálacha na nAchtanna Meabhair-Shláinte 2001–2018 (“Acht 2001”). Is iad príomhfheidhmeanna an MHC, mar atá sonraithe in Acht 2001, ardchaighdeáin agus dea-chleachtais a chur chun cinn, a spreagadh agus a chothú maidir le seirbhísí meabhairshláinte a sholáthar, agus gach beart réasúnta a dhéanamh chun leasanna daoine atá á gcoinneáil in ionaid cheadaithe a chosaint. Tá an MHC údaraithe freisin chun gníomhaíochtaí den sórt sin a dhéanamh a mheasann sé a bheith cuí chun na caighdeáin agus na cleachtais sin a chothú agus a chur chun cinn.
Foráiltear leis an Acht um Chinnteoireacht Chuidithe (Inniúlacht) 2015 (“Acht 2015”) do Sheirbhís Tacaíochta Cinnteoireachta (“an DSS”) a bhunú laistigh den MHC chun tacú le cinnteoireacht daoine fásta a bhfuil deacrachtaí acu ó thaobh inniúlachta de, agus chun rialáil a dhéanamh ar dhaoine aonair atá ag soláthar tacaíochta do dhaoine a bhfuil deacrachtaí acu ó thaobh inniúlachta de. Déanann Acht 2015 athchóiriú ar reachtaíocht na hÉireann maidir le hinniúlacht, reachtaíocht atá i bhfeidhm ón 19ú haois. Bunaíonn sé creat reachtúil nua-aimseartha chun tacú le cinnteoireacht daoine fásta a mbíonn deacracht acu cinntí a dhéanamh gan chúnamh.
Tabhair faoi deara go n-áirítear an tSeirbhís Tacaíochta Cinnteoireachta i ngach tagairt don Choimisiún Meabhair-Shláinte.
Tá an leabhrán faisnéise agus an fhoirm iarratais le fáil thíos. Ní mór do gach duine leasmhar an fhoirm iarratais ábhartha a chomhlánú agus í a sheoladh chuig mhc@osborne.ie. Ní dhéanfar ach iarrthóirí a chomhlánaíonn na foirmeacha iarratais a mheas faoi chuimsiú an chomórtais seo.
