Jake Rylatt creates Intermediate Tier 1 Module of the PDF Accreditation Scheme
11th December 2024
On the 7th November 2024 the Professional Deputies Forum Accreditation Scheme was launched. The scheme is described as a “multi-tiered programme designed to be used alongside the OPG’s standards, completion of the Accreditation Programme will demonstrate a knowledge and understanding of what it means to be a Deputy or work as part of the team to represent P effectively”.
Jake Rylatt and Vicky Rylatt (of Anthony Gold Solicitors) and I have created the Intermediate Tier module on “Relationship Issues – Family law matters”.
The programme aims to elevate standards and demonstrate that accredited professional deputies have the expertise and a foundation of knowledge in a range of areas when looking after the property and affairs of vulnerable clients.
The accreditation programme has launched this autumn and is open to all legal members of the PDF.
- Foundation Level – for people working at grades D to C, including paralegals.
- Intermediate Level – for people working at grades C to B.
- Advanced Level – for grade A deputies or trust corporation individuals (launching next year).
Each level includes a variety of modules, from investments, benefits, international law, wills, and annual returns, to managing people with disabilities and brain injuries. Each takes no more than an hour and can be completed flexibly.
