Guidance Materials

We produce guidance materials about decision support arrangements which contain important information about the different options for exercising your capacity and getting support with decision-making.

We have produced guidance materials on our different functions and the services we provide. This includes guidance on how to make an objection and how to make a complaint. It also includes guidance on searching our registers.

We have guidance for decision supporters on preparing and submitting reports, as well as information on expenses and remuneration that may be claimed.

Further guidance for decision supporters, interveners and certain professionals can be found in our codes of practice.
