The aim of The PDF is to support and contribute to the work of professional deputies and those who work alongside them on matters concerning vulnerable adults who lack or have limited mental capacity.

This is a challenging as well as a growing area of work and a shared forum aims to work for its members and most importantly, those they work for. As this area of work grows so does the need for a body that can both support and represent its practitioners. This includes those working alongside professional deputies, such as solicitors, trainees and paralegals who may be learning or highly experienced, but who are also their lifeblood and their future.
