How it works
Once you’ve clicked on ‘Sign Care/Support Plan’ you’ll be asked a series of questions to ascertain the capacity and ability of the individual in your care. If the individual has capacity to consent and the ability to sign, the individual will be asked to sign and check a box to confirm that they’ve been fully informed of, and understand the support plan.
What happens if somebody doesn’t have capacity to consent?
You’ll be prompted to select a Legal Power of Attorney or a nominated person for the client. This is typically a partner, family member or close friend.
They’ll be asked to sign on behalf of the individual in your care and check a box to confirm that they’ve been fully informed of, and understand the support plan.
Note: this person will have to be physically present to sign.
