This document is a practical checklist to help ensure mental capacity assessments involving people with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) follow the Mental Capacity Act Code of Practice.
This is a template (precedent) letter that parents or carers can use if a GP practice removes or plans to remove their access to a child’s online GP records purely because the child has reached a certain age (often 11–13).
This template is intended to help parents raise the issue clearly and respectfully with their GP practice so that decisions are made based on the child’s individual circumstances rather than a rigid age-based rule.
