Answer
A, B, C, D
Explanation
IMCA is an abbreviation for 'Independent Mental Capacity Advocate'. They are a safeguard for people who lack the mental capacity to make their own decisions. They provide an independent safeguard to those who have no other support (like friends or family) who could advocate for them, hence options 2 and 3 are accurate. In addition to assisting an adult who is deprived of their liberty - adhering to IMCA's guidelines and role - answers 1 and 4 are also true. They help in complex situations, including instances of adult protection.
