Supporting individuals who lack capacity requires a coordinated approach between legal, clinical and care professionals. In particular, a deputy will work closely with a case managers to ensure that a client’s needs are met.
The video below is an excerpt from a recent discussion between Emma Tante, Partner in the Court of Protection team at Anthony Gold Solicitors and Helen Goddard, Senior Brain Injury Case Manager at Head First, about how this collaboration works in practice. Helen emphasised that effective teamwork is essential to achieving the best outcomes for clients with complex needs.
While Court of Protection deputies are responsible for overseeing financial decisions, case managers coordinate rehabilitation, care and day-to-day support. When these roles are aligned, clients benefit from a structured approach that supports both independence and protection.
