Committee on Disability Matters

Autonomy and Integrity for Persons with Disabilities: Discussion

2:00 am

Ms Angela Denning:

One webinar had almost 1,000 people at it. Each existing ward of court has a case officer. That case officer has worked with the ward and the committee and continues to support the ward as best we can through the process. The addition of extra support from the Legal Aid Board has also been very useful. Each ward currently has a case officer they know and have been working with all along. That assistance remains in place.
