4. People should only make decisions for you if:

  • there is no other way
  • you do not have capacity
A man in a black t shirt  is scratching his head, looking confused

Capacity is your ability to

  • understand information
  • keep the information in your mind
  • use the information to make a choice or decision
  • let people know your decision.
A man in a blue shirt is holding a card he chose from a group of cards in front of him. He is showing a woman beside him.

You can let people know your decision in different

ways, it does not have to be talking.
