Description
Supported decision-making maximises an individual’s ability to ensure that their rights, will and preferences are at the centre of all decisions that concern them. This guidance is aimed at those working with people who may have difficulty making decisions - this could be due to mental illness, dementia, a learning disability, or another condition. The guidance sets out how people can be supported to ensure that decisions made by or about them genuinely reflect their choices.
Useful for
Mainly health and social care staff, but can also be used by adults and their families alongside those (including welfare and financial attorneys and guardians) who support them.
