Our team brings years of experience in working with people with complex needs, such as brain injuries and learning disabilities. We take pride in conducting assessments that are not only rigorous and comprehensive but also deeply personalised to meet each individual’s best interests.
We understand that capacity assessment is not always straightforward. Often, people may seem fully capable in conversation but face significant challenges when it comes to real-life situations. Unlike more generalised assessments, our approach carefully considers potential risks, such as executive dysfunction or difficulties adapting to unexpected events. We look beyond the surface, ensuring every assessment reflects the person’s true capacity.
Our approach follows the core principles of the Mental Capacity Act—empowering and protecting individuals at every step. We value input from family, friends, and professionals who know the person best. We also create a supportive environment to encourage individuals to demonstrate their understanding and reasoning during the assessment.
