Professional curiosity? is about enquiring deeper and using proactive questioning and challenge. It is about understanding one’s own responsibility and knowing when to act, rather than making assumptions or taking things at face value. #Amdsafeguarding

Important message from @OPGGovUK: The term ‘Next of Kin’ is commonly used and many people presume that the person they identify as their ‘Next of Kin’ has certain rights and duties. However, in reality the term does not have any legal decision-making authority.
Many people wrongly assume a next of kin can look after your money if something happens that means you can't. A lasting power of attorney will give the loved ones you trust the ability to help manage your money #YourVoiceYourDecision Go online to apply 💻 https://t.co/kERHjWnso9
