Welcome
The Guardianship Tribunal is a legal tribunal established under the Guardianship Act 1987 . The Tribunal has a key role in the protection and empowerment of people living with a decision-making disability.

The Tribunal can also:
-
review the guardianship and financial management orders it makes
-
review enduring powers of attorney and enduring guardianship appointments
-
provide consent to medical or dental treatment
-
approve a clinical trial so that people with decision-making disabilities can take part
