Dear Ms Walsh

             

 

Request for Information - Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA) - 6044

 

I write further to your e-mail received by the Council on 16.1.17 where
you made the following request for information.

 

The Council’s response to your request is as follows;

 

Request; Please can you provide a copy of the authority's policy or
policies which detail the legal responsibilities and safeguarding
procedures that are in place when the local authority are an appointee for
an individual and what information is provided to support providers in
order to assist in money management for people who lack capacity?

Response; Bury Council follows the DWP guidance and regulations for
Appointees and the Authorities financial and Data Protection procedures. 
Bury Council does not provide written information to providers, however
communication to and from the provider is undertaken by phone, Email and
face to face visits, regarding customers for whom Bury Council is
Appointee.  The communication is usually for personal allowance spend and
additional spend requests as required. E.g. 3 quotes required for property
refurbishment, best interest and risk assessments for holiday requests.

 

Please note: The supply of information in response to a Freedom of
Information request does not confer an automatic right to re-use the

requiring permission.  Similarly, information supplied can also be re-used
for the purposes of news reporting.  An exception to this is photographs.

that to deal with this request it has cost the Council £25.00.
