A group of people are standing around in an office setting. Two people on the right are in discussion with each other, one is a wheelchair-user. The man in focus is sat on a sofa wearing headphones, and smiling down at a notebook as he writes in it.

Appointeeship - FAQ's

Can an appointee reside overseas?

The rationale behind appointeeship assumes that appointees will have regular contact with the vulnerable individual they represent, as well as their existing support network. When one party lives overseas, this may become problematic.

Collaboration between parties is often factored into the appointeeship process. Through regular correspondence, support networks can inform appointees of key information that may not be evident through financial management. When appointees maintain this communication, a transparent approach to the role becomes evident, reflecting best practice.

When an appointee moves abroad, this can become strained. To avoid any resounding issues, it may be better to consider the involvement of an alternative appointee. As the vulnerable individual’s wellbeing is a top priority, existing support networks (including appointees) should then look for someone to take over. This can help to minimise interruptions to care they are currently receiving.
