OUR SERVICES
Meinir Evans, Director at Endeavour Law, recently took part in training about the new Online Safety Act. The new law aims to make the internet safer, especially for people who might be at risk of online scams or abuse.
Meinir works with many clients who have a Deputyship or Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA). These legal documents help someone trusted make decisions about money or care when a person cannot safely do so themselves.
How LPAs and Deputyships Help
Having an LPA or Deputyship means that a trusted person can help manage money and make important decisions. They can step in quickly if something seems wrong. But even with that protection, scams can still happen.
This is because many people with LPAs or Deputyships can still use social media, talk to strangers online, and make their own spending choices. Attorneys and deputies cannot watch every message or post - they can only act once they know something has gone wrong.
That’s where the Online Safety Act helps. It makes websites and social media companies more responsible for keeping users safe, especially those who might be vulnerable.
The Online Safety Act gives stronger rules for online protection. But having an LPA or Deputyship is still vital. Together, these tools help keep people safer - one by setting legal boundaries, the other by providing a trusted person to act when things go wrong.
At Endeavour Law, we help families protect their loved ones. If you are worried about someone who might be at risk of scams or poor online advice, we can guide you through setting up an LPA or Deputyship with care and understanding.
