Sofie's been living down the road for years
She was even here when England last won the world cup in sixty six
But she's no longer capable of making her own decisions
Just like two million other people in England and Wales who lack the capacity
to make decisions for themselves
There are as many as six million professional and informal carers who support these people
Like the man from meals on wheels who delivers Sophie's lunch
and Sophie's sister who pops round to feed her cat
Sophie relies on these helpers. They make her life so much easier
There's a very small minority who take advantage of vulnerable people like Sophie
One of Sophie's visitors has been acting suspiciously
you think he might be trying to take advantage of her
Be careful not to jump to conclusions
but you do have a very real responsibility to keep an eye on Sophie's situation
So you think Sophie's new friend is trying to persuade her to sign over
money or property
What should you do
You should alert the social services, or contact a solicitor who can start an investigation into the situation
You might just find that you've saved Sophie from being exploited
and restored justice along the way
