Court of Protection and Financial Vulnerability

Today, the focus is on financial vulnerability - something many of us don't really have to consider. Allan had to manage discussions around mental capacity from a young age, but had positive experiences with the Court of Protection, particularly around life skills.  Richard and Allan explain what capacity actually means, and the kinds of questions that the Court of Protection would look at to help a person make financial decisions. They discuss vulnerability around money and women in particular, why Allan has to have someone manage his finances, impulsivity, social skills, and the process of obtaining support from the CoP.  Are there any downsides to the CoP? Can Allan see a future without a need for the CoP? What does vulnerability mean to Allan? @psychologychartered
