Carers and Capacity: Briefing for Family Carers on the Capacity Act

Family Carers Ireland and the Decision Support Service held two virtual information briefings in April 2021 on the Assisted Decision Making (Capacity) Act 2015.

Keynote speaker and Director of the Decision Support Service Áine Flynn delivered a presentation outlining the key reforms that the act will bring, focusing particularly on its impact on family carers who care for an adult who has difficulties with decision-making.
