Appointeeship - FAQ's

Why would someone need a corporate appointee?

Corporate appointees are the typical solution when no other suitable party can be identified to take on the role. This is commonly due to the presence of a safeguarding risk, or lack of a suitable/willing party.

The nomination of a corporate appointee may also be the go-to option from a safeguarding perspective. By not passing these duties to a non-professional, potential conflicts of interest can be avoided. This means clients can still benefit from the same expertise and support, without the risk.

For individuals living in social care or supported living, this can also be a crucial form of support (provided they are also a benefit recipient). This way, appointees and carers can work collaboratively to ensure the highest level of support, while reducing the financial burden that typically falls to carers.

If you or someone you know could benefit from this kind of support, we’re here to help. Don’t hesitate to get in touch – or download our appointeeship guide.
