About Me

Tilly Baden - Company Director

Tilly is a qualified Social Worker, Best Interests Assessor, and Advocate, with over a decade of experience in social work. Tilly has previously managed a Mental Capacity Act and Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (MCA / DOLS) team for a local authority, but is now fully independent.

Tilly is a regular columnist and features writer for the popular Social Work News media platform. Tilly has also produced features for the Open Justice in Court of Protection project.

Tilly has many well-established relationships with solicitors and local authorities across England and Wales. Tilly's independent social work assessments have received substantial praise and have been used as expert evidence within the Court of Protection and the Chancery Division of the High Court.

What is the Mental Capacity Act?

Overview

The Mental Capacity Act (MCA) is a law that protects the rights of people aged 16 and over. It enables them to make their own decisions wherever possible.


It also adds a safety net for those who are unable to make a specific decision due to a mental disorder.


This can be decisions about:

  • minor things like what food to buy or what to wear
  • more serious things like whether to move to a care home or have major surgery


Decisions for a person aged 16 or 17 cannot automatically be made by their parents or guardians.


The MCA has 5 key principles that everyone must follow. These are:

  1. A person must be assumed to have capacity unless it is established that they lack capacity.
  2.  A person is not to be treated as unable to make a decision unless all practicable steps to help them to do so have been taken without success.
  3. A person is not to be treated as unable to make a decision merely because he makes an unwise decision.
  4. An act done, or decision made, under this Act for or on behalf of a person who lacks capacity must be done or made, in his best interests.
  5. Before the act is done, or the decision is made, regard must be had to whether the purpose for which it is needed can be as effectively achieved in a way that is less restrictive of the person’s rights and freedom of action.


 

For a person to make a decision, they need to be able to:


  • understand the information relevant to the decision
  • remember the information long enough to make a decision
  • work out what they think about it. This includes weighing up the advantages, disadvantages and likely consequences
  • communicate their decision to others


A person has a lack of capacity to make a particular decision if they are unable to do:

  • one or more of the 4 steps above
  • this due to a mental disorder such as (but not limited to) dementia, a brain injury or a learning disability


If someone is unable to make a specific decision, then the decision will need to be made in their best interests.


Sometimes, a person will have:

  • made a Lasting Power of Attorney
  • made an Advance Decision
  • a Court Appointed Deputy who can make the decision on their behalf


Anyone who makes a best interest decision must abide by the law and follow the Code of Practice.


The person must still be involved in the decision, even if they lack capacity. Their wishes and feelings should be taken into account.


Others involved in the person's life should also be spoken with. They should be given the opportunity to share their views. That includes:

  • family members
  • friends
  • carers
  • other professionals
  • their advocate (if relevant)


If a best interest decision cannot be reached, an application may be made to the Court of Protection. This means a judge will make the final decision.


No one can make decisions on another person's behalf about consent to sex or marriage.

What are Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards?

Overview

Some people are prevented from leaving care in hospitals and care homes for their own safety. 


This is called 'deprivation of liberty'.


A person may be 'deprived of their liberty' if they:

  • lack capacity to consent to their care and treatment
  • are under continuous supervision and control
  • are not free to leave a care home or hospital


Deprivations of liberty are judged on a case by case basis.


If a person is deprived of their liberty, it is important that the person has legal protection to ensure:


  • that their human rights are not breached
  • there is a way for them to challenge this deprivation of liberty through court


This legal protection is called the Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (known as DoLS).


DoLS assessments are carried out by 2 professionals:


  • a specially trained doctor that will assess the person's mental disorder
  • a second professional called the Best Interest Assessor (BIA)


They will spend time talking to the person and anyone involved in their life, such as:

  • carers
  • family members
  • other professionals


A DoLS Standard Authorisation is only granted once the doctor and BIA are satisfied that the deprivation of liberty is lawful.


During the DoLS assessment, a representative for the person must be selected. They are known as the Relevant Person's Representative (RPR). The RPR keeps in touch with the person and supports them to challenge the DoLS Standard Authorisation if they object to:


  • their care
  • their accommodation
  • restrictions in their life


There are rules about who can be appointed as an RPR.


If the person or their RPR disagrees with the standard authorisation, then they can challenge us in the Court of Protection. This is called a Section 21A challenge. There is non-means tested legal aid available along with full advocacy support for this process.


A judge will then decide:


  • what care and treatment is in that person's best interests
  • where they should stay


The DoLS process only applies to those in a hospital or care home. If a person is deprived of their liberty in their own home or a supported living environment, then the Local Authority or NHS Trust will apply to the Court of Protection for a judge to agree this. This is often known as a "Community Deprivation of Liberty" or referred to as the "Re. X procedure".

 

Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at tilly@chesilsocialwork.co.uk if you cannot find an answer to your question.

We understand that the prospect of being assessed can be daunting. Tilly will do everything possible to ensure you are at ease. This will involve ensuring that the process is fully explained and outcomes are communicated clearly. Tilly prides herself on being friendly and professional. 


Capacity assessments are based on a conversation and are not a 'test'. You are not expected to remember complicated facts and figures! If we're talking about managing your finances, then you can have your bank statements and paperwork in front of you. If we're talking about writing a new Will, then you can have notes about your estate and family composition with you. Tilly will work with you to establish what you do know, and not dwell on things that you're not sure about.  


Each assessment is tailored to your specific needs and will be slightly different depending on the decision needing to be made. When the appointment is confirmed, Tilly will confirm whether any documents or supporting evidence needs to be provided, such as health letters confirming a diagnosis or a copy of a person's existing Will. Tilly will fully explain the criteria that the assessment is made against. This is sometimes referred to as the 'Relevant Information' and is guided by case law whilst being tailored to the individual circumstances. 


Tilly's starting point is that you can make the decision yourself - this is in line with Principle 1 of the Mental Capacity Act. Tilly will help you to reach a decision for yourself if this is possible, and will take all practicable steps to enable you to do this - this is Principle 2 of the Mental Capacity Act. Tilly is non-judgemental in her approach and recognises that we are all unique and have our own views on how we like to live our lives. Tilly is always mindful of Principle 3 of the Mental Capacity Act which tells us that we mustn't treat someone as unable to make a decision merely because some may not agree with the decision that the person has made. All assessments are based on evidence and Tilly prides herself on being able to build rapport with her clients and creating a positive working relationship with all.

Many of our clients access Chesil Social Work Services Ltd via a Solicitor as their cases involve legal processes such as writing a Will or organising financial affairs. However, Chesil Social Work Services Ltd accepts referrals from private clients and you do not need to be referred by a Solicitor. 

Generally, in order to complete an assessment, Chesil Social Work Services Ltd will need consent from the person themselves. However, we recognise that this is not always possible if the person has a significant disability and is unable to provide that consent. If you would like to make a referral on another person's behalf, please get in touch, and Tilly will guide you through the next steps so that all assessments are conducted lawfully and ethically. 

No, Chesil Social Work Services Ltd cannot provide legal advice. Legal advice can only be given by qualified and registered solicitors and barristers. If your case involves legal issues, then we strongly recommend you seek independent legal advice from a suitably qualified and reputable legal professional. You can check that the Solicitor you are dealing with is appropriately registered and qualified by searching the Solicitors Regulation Authority list. 

No, Chesil Social Work Services Ltd cannot provide financial advice.  If your case involves financial matters, then we strongly recommend you seek independent financial advice from a suitably qualified and reputable financial advisor. We also cannot provide any advice on tax matters or paying for care costs. 

This depends on the matters to be assessed. Tilly is committed to working with people from all nationalities and backgrounds, but different countries have different governing legislation so it will depend on which country has jurisdiction over a specific matter. The Mental Capacity Act (2005) is an English piece of legislation and the law varies across the UK and within other countries. Tilly has experience in working with Notaries and providing documents for Foreign agencies, as well as completing remote mental capacity assessments for clients in Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland following the equivalent mental capacity legislation. If your query relates to a non-English matter, then please get in touch and we can discuss your specific requirements further. 

Tilly's expertise is in adult social work. Tilly is happy to complete assessments with 16 and 17 year olds around Mental Capacity Act matters, but she is unable to assist with child protection matters or parental contact issues. 

Tilly regularly delivers guest lectures and presentations to students at Bournemouth University where she is an associate fellow. Unfortunately, Tilly is unable to offer placements or shadowing opportunities to students. However, if you are interested in our remote clinical supervision or mentoring services, then please get in touch to discuss your requirements. 

Whilst Tilly does complete retrospective capacity assessments for local authorities and The Office of the Public Guardian, we are unfortunately unable to offer this service to private clients at this time. 

Sometimes the Court will request a life expectancy report as evidence in proceedings, often in matters involving making financial gifts or disposing of assets. Unfortunately, Tilly does not offer life expectancy report services. We recommend that these are completed by a medical doctor suitably qualified in diagnosing and treating medical conditions, as they are outside of the scope of the expertise of a social worker.
