We provide comprehensive best interest assessments, where an adult has already been determined not to have the capacity to make a specific decision. This includes:

  • Collecting relevant information about the person's values, wishes, beliefs, and circumstances.
  • Speaking with family members, carers and professionals to gain a holistic understanding of the situation.
  • Considering the different options available and weighing their potential benefits and risks.
  • Documenting the decision-making process so there is a clear evidence base, and providing a comprehensive report which is court compliant.

Our services are rooted in the principles of the Mental Capacity Act 2005, ensuring that decisions are made ethically, lawfully, and with the person's wellbeing at the heart of the process.

We understand that this may be a confusing or challenging time for people so we aim to make the process straightforward, honest and friendly so that the person is supported to move forward in their lives.

If you have any questions or would like to book a call, please feel free to get in touch.
