We are doing research about the end of the Wards of Court system and about the new Decision Support system.

Our research will look at the process of moving from a Ward of Court is working for people who are or were Wards of Court, and the Committees that act on their behalf. We will also look at how this works for professionals involved in the transition from wardship and in the new supported decision-making system. The research will allow us to see if any improvements in the process are needed.
