Grandpa on a skateboard: the practicalities of assessing mental capacity and unwise decisions

This book is designed to help conduct robust assessments whilst at the same time enabling professionals to provide optimum outcome for those under their charge. It also aims help achieve these goals: set the threshold of understanding which is necessary for every assessment; clearly define seemingly ambiguous phrases such as ‘unwise decisions’ and ‘the functional test’; recording assessments ensuring they stand up to legal scrutiny.
