Appointeeship - FAQ's

Can I resign as the DWP appointee?

Appointees may resign in their role if they are no longer able to provide a sufficient service. However, they must give at least one month’s notice to the DWP, to avoid disruption to the service provision. To do so, an appointee must fill in the correct documentation requesting to resign (BF58).

Existing appointees are also encouraged to advise of any prospective parties who would be willing to take on the role. If no suitable persons can be identified, the DWP will make it a priority to ensure support is put in place, such as the involvement of a corporate appointee.

The DWP also has the power to revoke appointeeship. This typically occurs where an appointee is not acting in an individual’s best interest, or where a safeguarding concern is raised. To investigate these claims, the DWP should be informed as soon as possible.
