ASPire 2024: Office of the Public Guardian (input 1) and Supported Decision Making (input 2) (webinar)

This is an ASPire webinar from August 2024.  Fiona Brown from the Office of the Public Guardian (OPG) is talking about the national role and remit of the OPG, and its links to Adult Support and Protection. There is also a presentation from Pearse McCusker and Lauren Gillespie concerning supported decision making. Supported decision making aims to protect a person’s ‘legal capacity’, or their right to have their will and preferences upheld.
