The Mental Welfare Commission was set up to safeguard the rights of people in Scotland with mental illness or learning difficulties. It operates within the framework of the Mental Health (Care and Treatment) (Scotland) Act 2003 and the Adults with Incapacity (Scotland) Act 2000. The web site, whilst not reproducing those Acts as such, provides commentary, guidance, codes of practice, forms, reports of investigations and inquiries (anonymized), and annual reports 2007/08 onwards. Legislation is provided via links to Legislation.gov.uk.
