Our sessions are created specifically for professionals working in the local authority and third sector who may benefit from training and guidance on mental capacity.

Sessions can also be tailored to the specific needs or areas of interest of the audience, and are delivered by the UK’s only Court of Protection Panel Deputy.

Operating within a not-for-profit setting brings a unique perspective on supporting vulnerable clients and navigating the complexities of Court of Protection procedures.

Key areas covered

  1. Mental capacity and financial decision-making

  2. Safeguarding vulnerable adults

  3. Recognising and responding to financial abuse

  4. The role of the Court of Protection and professional deputies

  5. Key differences between Lasting Powers of Attorney and Deputyship
