Leading the way in Mental Capacity Assessments

TSF provide an antidote to the stress and complexities of mental capacity assessments. Our level of understanding and unique court validated approach means no-one knows mental capacity and financial vulnerability like we do.

 

With a team of expert Mental Capacity Assessors, we conduct both face-to-face and remote assessments via live video-link across England and Wales, helping to decipher an individual’s capacity to understand and make decisions about financial and personal matters. 

 

We have a dedicated Client Liaison Team delivering a simplified and efficient service to legal, financial and medical professionals, and are supported by a specialist Quality Monitoring Team who produce robust post-assessment reports, which stand up to legal scrutiny and challenge.

 

When we’re not conducting mental capacity or financial vulnerability assessments, or training others to expand their knowledge in this complex area, we’re passionate about fighting for legislative changes to ensure people are assessed properly and we strive to create a global authority of excellence.

Why TSF?

EXTENSIVE COVERAGE

We have a strong team of expert Mental Capacity Assessors who are ready to conduct face-to-face or remote assessments via live video- link across England and Wales, in the client’s home/care home or somewhere they feel comfortable, with a choice of platforms to best suit your client’s needs. 

UNRIVALLED EXPERTISE

Our Assessors have vast experience in assessing mental capacity and financial vulnerability, are recognised by the Court of Protection, and are backed by our internal Quality Monitoring Team who produce the most robust reports in the industry.

SIMPLE  PROCESS

With a dedicated Client Liaison Officer and unique pre-assessment documentation, we’re here to guide you through every step of the referral process. And we’ll make arrangements for an assessment directly with the client/care home, simplifying the process.

FAST TURNAROUND

We know that time is of the essence. That’s why we have ample availability and look to turn around assessments as quickly as possible, without compromising on quality. We also employ the use of electronic signatures, to further speed up the process.
