Nominated person

Plain English definition

From:

Think Local Act Personal (TLAP) Jargon Buster

Think Local Act Personal

If you receive direct payments from the council to arrange your own care and support, you can choose someone you trust to receive these payments on your behalf. This person is called your 'nominated person' and is different to a 'suitable person', who receives direct payments on behalf of someone who does not have mental capacity to make decisions for themselves.
