What guides the Public Guardian when making decisions?
The Public Guardian can only make decisions in the areas set out in the guardianship order. The guardianship order lists the areas of authority (functions) the Public Guardian has. The Public Guardian must make decisions that reflect the principles of the Guardianship Act 1987. Staff are also guided by written position statements on particular decision-making areas and a number of internal decision-making procedures. Position statements of the Public Guardian.
