Deputyship London

Our role at Professional Deputies is to manage the financial affairs of our clients. However to do this effectively we need input from the clients circle of care when it comes to their day-to-day living. Thus we work closely and in partnership with Care Managers, Social Workers, Residential Care Home Workers, Domiciliary Care Workers, carers, families, and friends to ensure that our client’s needs and requests are met. Without this vital link up with the afore mentioned workers there would not be that bridge between ourselves and our clients. The easiest way to portray it, is to see two distinct entities working towards the same goal of ensuring the client receives the service they deserve:

Care Management – eg. Social Worker handling the day-to-day needs of the client. Say the client required or wanted a new sofa, the Social Worker would convey this message to ourselves. Professional Deputies – Handling all financial matters for the client. After receiving the relevant information about the sofa wanted by the client, we would subsequently then organise the sofa to be delivered to our client’s house.

By working collaboratively with organisations like local authorities, our work will often complement the work done by these organisations, and brings advantages for both the client and the organisations we work with in the form of:

 Assists the client’s care plan for both the Social Worker and the client
 Unravels financial assessments
 Safeguarding Adults Policy criteria is met
 Maximises income for both the client and the referring organisation
 Enables the client to spend their money the way they desire
