“The Public Guardian is aware of the significant problems experienced by attorneys, withdrawers and guardians when dealing with banking institutions and other fund holders. There is a regular programme of awareness raising and training with fund holders to try and reduce these difficulties but this makes little impact at the present time. The Equality and Human Rights Commission are keen to hear from individual attorneys, withdrawers or guardians, who encounter such difficulties and with permission may be able to raise a legal challenge against a fund holder on the grounds that they are treating incapable adults less fairly than a capable person. The Commission can be contacted:
- By e-mail scotlandhelpline@equalityhumanrights.com or
- By telephone on 0845 604 5510 or
- In writing to Equality and Human Rights Commission Helpline Scotland
