National Conference 2022
This session gives practitioners a grounding in responding early to impaired decision making in any context and introduces practitioners to cognitive responsive interviewing and client onboarding.
This approach can be instrumental in mitigating the risk of abusive or coercive conduct emerging in operating your clients’ affairs.
We will use cases drawn from practice including examples of problems faced by SMSF trustees when discharging their duties to beneficiaries.
At the end of this session, you will be able to:
Understand when evidencing informed consent is critical
Understand what causes and concerns can trigger the need for decision making ability evaluation
Learn to recognise common behaviours that can evidence the cognitive impairment of your client
Learn guidelines for cognitive responsive interviewing and onboarding of clients, their representatives and supporters.
