Mental Capacity Assessments
We can help with a range of Mental Capacity Assessments for adults, children and young people, including decision-specific and retrospective assessments. Our assessments are person-centred, to help people make decisions and get the support they need, while safeguarding vulnerable individuals. We understand how important any assessment is for those involved and aim to complete them as quickly as possible, within 7 days.
What to expect
Our assessments usually take around an hour and our friendly, experienced social workers do their best to make sure it’s a comfortable and relaxed experience. We’re accredited expert mental capacity assessors, so you’re in good hands.

Why is decision-specific assessment so important?
A person’s mental capacity to make decisions can change, depending on their specific situation and health condition. Someone may need help with a specific decision, but it doesn’t necessarily mean they can’t make other kinds of decision for themselves.
