Who attends a Best Interests Meeting and who is the decision maker?
When it comes to making decisions for individuals who lack capacity, clarity on who attends Best Interest Meetings and holds decision-making authority is crucial. Best Interest Meetings bring together a range of people in different roles, who each play an important role in the decision-making process.
What is a Best Interest Meeting?
Decision-making on behalf of individuals lacking mental capacity requires legal frameworks that have been designed to safeguard their rights. One such system is the Best Interest Meeting, which ensures that decisions are made in the individual's best interests.
