Overview

The British Columbia Law Institute has been retained by the BC Centre for Elder Advocacy and Support, on behalf of the Adult Abuse and Neglect Collaborative of B.C., to conduct an international review of both the laws governing capability for decision-making which currently inform guardianship practice, and the existing body of policies, protocols and guidelines that inform capability assessment. Ultimately the BCLI will be assisting the Collaborative to create an inter-disciplinary best practices tool to guide practitioners working in health care, medicine, law and criminal justice who deal with adults with capability issues.
