The England and Wales Office of the Public Guardian (OPG) has introduced a new way to report a concern about an attorney, deputy or guardian.
A new online form is now available. According to the OPG, the online form will make it quicker and easier for people to raise concerns about an attorney, deputy or guardian. It should also help to redirect people who are trying to raise a concern that the OPG doesn’t have the legal authority to investigate.
It is still possible to raise a concern about an attorney, deputy or guardian by email and telephone (0300 456 0300).
This seems like a step in the right direction to protect vulnerable individuals.
