A generic term for somebody who represents or acts on behalf of a person seeking or receiving care and support.

The term PROXY has no legal meaning or status in its own right. There are a number of formal proxy roles established by law, each of which carries different rights and responsibilities. There are also circumstances in which someone may act as an informal proxy - for example, when someone seeking or receiving care and support asks health and social care staff to communicate with a family member or friend on their behalf.
