Topics covered include intervention orders and guardianship, in addition to assisted decision-making with a focus on initiative models, as well as deprivation of liberty following Aberdeenshire Council v SF [2024] and, Argyll and Bute Council v RF [2025].  Find out more about capacity assessments with vulnerable adults, and good practice when working with someone living with or facing dementia. 

We also consider good practice in will drafting, elder client care, and when and how concerns relating to Powers of Attorney should be raised.
