Why we need the deputy report
It's OPG's responsibility to look after the client's best interests (the client is the person
whose affairs you are looking after). Your deputy reports help us supervise your deputyship.
What you'll need for the report
You'll need to provide details of:
how the client is cared for
any big decisions you have made or are planning to make for the client
friends, family and professionals you've contacted on behalf of the client
If you're a property and financial affairs deputy you'll also need to provide details of:
purchases you've made on the client's behalf
financial records relating to the client (for example bank statements)
the client's assets and debts
What if there's more than one deputy?
You'll only need to submit one deputy report for each reporting period. This applies
if you make decisions together (usually called 'jointly') or separately and together
(usually called 'jointly and severally').
What happens after I submit my report?
We'll review the report, and may still need to contact you for more information – by
phone, email, in writing or by arranging a visit.
