I have a mental health issue
The Law in England & Wales is very clear when protecting vulnerable people, the problem is many organisations don’t know the law.
I want to help a family member
Being diagnosed with mental health problem can often mean that your opinions and ideas are not taken seriously.
Court of Protection
Many vulnerable people and their families are frustrated by the lack of a service they receive or the imposition of a service that they do not want.
Deprivation of liberty safeguards
To protect people who are unable to make decisions for themselves it may be necessary to detain them to safeguard their well-being.
Mental Health Tribunals
When people have been hospitalised under the Mental Health Act access to legal advice is imperative.
Financial Deputyship
When someone lacks capacity to make decisions about money or pay for care, other people may make decisions not in their best interest.
Lasting Power of Attorney
If you or someone you love should lose capacity through accident or illness. It’s not always your next of kin who can make decisions for you
