MC1 Who else is affected?

Alongside people who may lack mental capacity are those who are affected indirectly:

• people who live with and care for them,
• neighbours,
• workers in shops, banks and solicitors’ offices.

They all need to be aware of the impact that a lack of mental capacity can have. As well as family and friends who offer informal care and support, some people have a formal role in responding. This might be you in your capacity at Window to the Womb.
