A refreshed set of standards to help court appointed deputies in their duties has been published on the OPG website.
As explained in the accompanying blog post, the standards are not new but have been refreshed following feedback that the existing standards for public and professional deputies could be simpler and to plug a gap for lay deputies. The full collection of standards is available on the OPG website.
