Guardianship Reform
Guardianship reform refers to changes in laws and practices that govern how guardians are appointed for individuals who cannot make decisions for themselves, often due to age or disability. The goal is to protect vulnerable individuals' rights, ensuring they receive proper support without losing too much autonomy. Reform efforts focus on promoting less restrictive alternatives, improving the accountability of guardians, and enhancing oversight to prevent abuse or neglect. By prioritizing the needs and preferences of those under guardianship, these reforms aim to create a more fair and compassionate system that respects individual dignity and freedom.
