The Public Guardian is supported by the Office of the Public Guardian (OPG).
This is a government body established by the Act to oversee attorneys and deputies and to act as a single point of contact for referring allegations of abuse in relation to attorneys and deputies to other relevant agencies.
So what do they actually do?
The OPG helps protect people who lack capacity by:
Providing reports
Providing reports to the Court of Protection. Dealing with cases where there are concerns raised about the way in which Attorneys or Deputies are carrying out their duties.
