Circles Network - Unpaid Carers Project

Fife Health and Social Care Partnership has commissioned Circles Network to provide an advocacy service to assist carers in understanding the importance of having a power of attorney.  This is to ensure that carers have the legal powers they need to make decisions should the person they care for lose capacity, and to support the carer and cared for person to arrange a suitable power of attorney.

The service will also support carers who find themselves in a situation where, due to not having a power of attorney in place, a guardianship order is required. Our advocates will support carers to navigate the process, so a suitable legal guardian is appointed as quickly as possible.

There are a number of events being held across Fife for anybody who is interested. Click this link for details
