Decision making brochures
Providing information and support to assist people who are called on to make decisions on behalf of people with dementia was identified as an important area where there was currently a lack of material available.
Brochures were developed that could be used by substitute decision makers and those supporting them on how to choose a substitute decision-maker, how to support someone to make their own decisions, information for those in the role of substitute decision-maker, and how to assess capacity to make decisions.
- Supporting a person to make their own decisions
- Can they decide for themselves?
- When you need to make a decision for someone
- Who will speak for you if you can’t?
The brochures have also been translated into Chinese, Italian and Arabic in order to assist outreach into these communities and will be available to download soon.
