Training All applicants must complete training prior to being appointed to the Panel. The expected duration for the training is approximately 8 hours. Training will be delivered by a mix of online modules and self directed learning. Remuneration or the reimbursement of expenses will not be paid for undertaking this mandatory training. Assignment to Area(s) The Panel will operate nationally, divided into eight (8) geographical areas aligned to the Circuit Court areas, detailed below. A panel member must be available to travel in the course of carrying out their function as a decision-making representative. Panel members will be assigned to an area based on the address provided for assignment purposes in their application form. The eight (8) DSS areas are as follows: DSS 1 Dublin DSS 2 Cork DSS 3 Kildare, Meath, Louth, Wicklow DSS 4 Laois, Longford, Offaly, Roscommon, Sligo, Westmeath DSS 5 Cavan, Donegal, Leitrim, Monaghan DSS 6 Carlow, Kilkenny, Tipperary, Waterford, Wexford DSS 7 Clare, Kerry, Limerick DSS 8 Galway, Mayo The DSS will endeavour to select panel members for nomination to the court for their assigned area. However, the DSS reserves the right to nominate a panel member to the court for a different area, where necessary and the panel member is available. The DSS will act reasonably in relation to the selection of panel members for nomination to the court, should such a requirement arise. 1. Duration of Appointment If a panel member is appointed by the court as a decision-making representative, the time commitment required will depend on what is set out in the court order. While an appointment by the court may be for a limited purpose or duration, an appointment may also extend to a broad range of decisions and may potentially last for the lifetime of the relevant person/former ward. If a decision-making representative appointed from the panel needs to be discharged from their appointment due to unforeseen circumstances, they must make an application to court to be removed. Only the court can discharge a decision-making representative from their appointment. 2. Remuneration Remuneration and certain expenses shall be paid to a decision-making representative in accordance with the 2015 Act, and as set out in the Assisted Decision-Making (Capacity) Act 2015 (Payment of Certain Expenses and Remuneration to Decision-Making Representatives) Regulation 2023 (the Regulations). The court order will set out the panel member’s entitlement to reasonable remuneration. A panel member may be paid out of the assets of the relevant person, or where the court so directs, by the DSS. The panel member must seek pre-approval for remuneration from the DSS at the beginning of each appointment. Annual limits apply based on the scope of the appointment. These are set out in detail in Appendix 2. In exceptional circumstances, subject to defined criteria, a decision-making representative may apply to be remunerated in excess of the applicable annual maximum. 3. Specific Requirements Panel members will be required to comply with the following: a) Panel members will be required to confirm compliance with various matters on an annual basis for continued membership of the Panel and these matters may change over the lifetime of the Panel. b) Panel members will be required to sign a declaration as a condition of their selection for the Panel prior to appointment to the Panel and such declaration may be subject to change over the lifetime of the Panel. c) Panel members will be required to report in writing all actual/potential conflicts of interest to include any involvement with any organisation, individual or other panel member (decision-making representative, special visitor, general visitor, and court friend) which could reasonably be perceived as constituting a potential conflict of interest in any case they are appointed. Panel members shall refrain from accepting nomination for appointment where there is a conflict-of-interest present. If a conflict-of-interest issue should arise at any point throughout the duration of an appointment as decision-making representative, the panel member must immediately notify in writing the court and the DSS. d) Panel members will be required to adhere to a code of confidentiality and will be required to sign a declaration of confidentiality prior to appointment to the Panel or as required by the DSS. e) Panel members will be required to adhere to data protection legislation and related policies and/or guidelines provided by the DSS. f) Panel members must comply with tax clearance/ payment procedures as specified by the Revenue Commissioners. g) Panel members must abide by the DSS Code of Conduct for decision-making representative panel members while fulfilling their appointed role. h) Panel members must abide by the Assisted Decision-Making (Capacity) Act 2015, the Guiding Principles in the 2015 Act, the Code of Practice for Decision-Making Representatives (to be published under section 103 of the Act), the Code of Practice on Supporting Decision-Making and Assessing Capacity (to be published under section 103 of the Act) and any set of standards and related guidance issued by the DSS. i) Panel members must abide by any applicable policies and procedures issued by the DSS and/or by the relevant Minister with regard remuneration/ reimbursement. j) Panel members must maintain their professional registration in Ireland with the relevant professional regulatory body required by law. Panel members will be required to provide evidence of their registration prior to appointment to the Panel or as required by the DSS for continued membership of the Panel. k) Panel members must hold professional indemnity insurance cover for continued membership of the Panel, and inform the DSS of any change in circumstances. Panel members will be required to provide evidence of professional indemnity insurance on an annual basis or as required by the DSS. l) Please note panel members are required to set-up a designated mailbox for use only in your role as a decision-making representative. The email address you provide for this purpose cannot be used for any private decision-making arrangements with the DSS. It will be used only as part of your role as a decision- making representative. 4. Persons Ineligible to be on the Panel Having regard to the provisions of Section 39 and 40 of the 2015 Act and the requirements of the DSS in relation to eligibility and disqualification of a decision-making representative, a person shall not be deemed suitable to be on the Panel if that person: (a) is an undischarged bankrupt or is currently in a debt settlement arrangement or personal insolvency arrangement or has been convicted of an offence involving fraud or dishonesty, (b) is a person in respect of whom a declaration under section 819 of the Companies Act 2014 has been made or is deemed to be subject to such a declaration by virtue of Chapter 5 of Part 14 of that Act, (c) is a person who is subject or is deemed to be subject to a disqualification order, within the meaning of Chapter 4 of Part 14 of the Companies Act 2014, by virtue of that Chapter or any other provisions of that Act, (d) has been convicted of an offence under section 34, 80, 90 or 145 of the 2015 Act, (e) is a member of the Mental Health Commission, (f) does not hold the required qualifications, registrations, and professional indemnity, (g) is not lawfully entitled to work in the State, (h) does not receive Garda/security clearance, (i) is convicted of an offence carrying a term of imprisonment.
