RS Assessments
A compassionate and person centred approach to assessing capacity.
A compassionate and person centred approach to assessing capacity.
RS Assessments is an independent service run by Rebecca Stroud, a qualified Social Worker with a strong commitment to person-centred practice. I specialise in delivering Mental Capacity Assessments for individuals, solicitors, and local authorities, working in line with the Mental Capacity Act 2005 and the Care Act 2014.
With a foundation in core social work values, I offer a compassionate, professional, and tailored approach to every assessment. Good communication, respect for individual rights, and a focus on client wellbeing are at the heart of my work. At RS Assessments, you can expect a reliable, ethical, and person-centred service that values building trust and understanding with every client.
There are many situations where you or a loved one may need a capacity assessment when making a complex, appointing a Lasting Power of Attorney, selling a property, or updating a Will.
If there are concerns about someone’s cognition, professionals may also request an assessment. We offer face-to-face assessments, formally recorded to support decision-making and identify if help is needed. Capacity is both time- and decision-specific, so multiple assessments may be required for different decisions.
If someone has lost capacity, an application may be required to the Court of Protection to help make a decision on behalf of someone.
As part of the court processes, the Court of Protection require a CoP 3 form to be completed by a relevant professional to confirm the status of the persons capacity for the court. This is often requested by a solicitor if they are helping you with this application. We are able to offer the completion of CoP 3 forms, including in situations such as applications for deputyship with the Court of Protection.
All assessments will be completed with a full written report either as a standard Mental Capacity Assessment, or on the relevant Court paperwork if required.
These reports can be shared with solicitors or other professionals involved in the decision-making processes for the specific decision that you or a family member are making.
I have been a qualified Social Worker since 2018 and have been working in Local Authority settings as a Social Worker and Senior Social Worker since this time. Within my work for Local Authorities, I have been able to continue to grow and develop an in depth understanding of the Mental Capacity Act 2005 and have significant experience of completing assessments within this framework.
I have experiences of working within Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards Teams and I am a qualified Best Interest Assessor. I have up to date GDPR training and endeavour to protect the data of the clients I am working with. I also pride myself on being an effective communicator and I hope to put you and your loved ones at ease through the assessment processes.
