THE COURT OF PROTECTION
MAKING AN APPLICATION AND ACTING AS PROFESSIONAL DEPUTIES

The Court of Protection is constantly evolving, not only to cope with the level of demand for its services, but also to ensure that 'P' is protected at all times. Professional Deputies are often required to provide assistance to “P” in the management of their property and financial affairs.

This course will provide you with the latest practice and procedures to enable you to make simple and complex applications in the Court of Protection, and in addition give practical advice to assist in making Deputyship a sustainable part of your business for the future.
