Court of Protection 1.2 Representative (CoP)

The role of the 1.2 Representative is to consider from the client’s perspective and in their best interests whether they agree or do not agree that the Court should authorise the package of care and support.

The role of the 1.2 Representative will be to weigh the pros and cons of the package of care and support, comparing it with other available options and (if appropriate) proposing changes to the applicant authority.

The 1.2 Representative will inform the court about what the client has said about and their attitude to the package of care and support.

The 1.2 Representative will also inform the court of any objection to the package of care or any objection to any restrictions place on the client by the package of care and support.
