Does anyone know about ECL and how likely they are to help with dutyship

Hi you can complete the deputyship yourself on the government website going through a solicitors is mega expensive you need to apply for both at the same time. There is a behaviour support team Worthing the mental health service that should support with this. If you can afford to pay for an independent social worker then I know someone that could help you. Just let me know or find one in your local area.

Hi there. I'm really sorry to hear about your son's struggles. It must be incredibly tough as a parent, especially in a complicated situation like this one. While I don't have specific information, it could be a good idea to reach out to Mencap’s Learning Disability Helpline at 0808 808 1111. I hope you find the support you need to ensure your son's well-being. Wishing you strength and comfort during this challenging time
