Description
The importance of recognising the extent of law relating to Adults with Incapacity, and fostering a proper application of its terms, continues to increase. While the effect of an aging population inevitably will be a significant consideration, the law also embraces Adults who have conditions such as a Learning Disability or who experience the effects of events such as Stroke or Acquired Brain Injury.
It is vital, therefore, that Practitioners can provide the best advice to clients and their families and supporters connected to this complex and developing area of work. It is equally important that other Professionals involved in assisting the lifestyle, finances and treatment of Vulnerable Adults appreciate how the law impacts on their work and informs their decisions.
In Scotland, the Adults with Incapacity (Scotland) Act 2000 was the first major legislation passed by the Scottish Parliament which established a comprehensive regime affecting Vulnerable Adults, and reflecting the requirements of the Human Rights Act 1998. Provision was made in relation to matters such as Powers of Attorney, Guardianship and Intervention Orders, as well as authorisation of some forms of Medical Treatment.
This Textbook offers a full overview of the content of the 2000 Act, and the practical steps available to Attorneys, Guardians and those advising them in discharging their responsibilities. In Scotland, a full Review of Mental Health Law is in progress which will address how the requirements of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disability (UNHCR) will be implemented. The textbook also will consider what changes in law and practice are likely to arise from the relevant parts of the Review and the possible paradigm shift mandated by the UNCHR.
