Mencap Decision Making for Vulnerable People Webinar

Tuesday 13 October at 10:30am

Philip Warford has been invited by Mencap to deliver a webinar about decision-making for a person with a learning disability.

As you may already know, the legal position regarding decision-making changes once a person becomes an adult and it is important to understand how your disabled loved one may be affected by this. During this 1 hour Zoom webinar, Philip will talk through the key principles of the Mental Capacity Act 2005, who can make a Powers of Attorney and how the Court of Protection might help.

Philip will discuss:

MENTAL CAPACITY

• What is mental capacity and who assesses mental capacity
• What affects mental capacity
• Different levels of capacity for different things
• How the Mental Capacity Act 2005 affects us

POWERS OF ATTORNEY

• What is a Power of Attorney
• Lasting Powers of Attorney explained

COURT OF PROTECTION

• What it is and what is does
• When and how to contact them
• Timescales and their charges

Please note, this webinar will not be recorded.
