About Us

The Court of Protection Practitioners Association (CoPPA) was formed officially in September 2012, and was founded in Manchester.



Although CoPPA will retain its origins in Manchester it is envisaged that regional sub groups will be formed under the CoPPA umbrella as awareness of the Association is raised.  Please contact for further information on this.

The aims of the group are:



• to create a forum for discussion of matters of common interest

• to ascertain and represent views of members in relation to their professional interests

• to protect and promote the efficiency of Courts in England and Wales in dealing with matters relating to the Court of Protection

• to further the understanding and development of the Court of Protection and Mental Capacity and Mental Health Law

• to develop the facility in England and Wales for the conduct of cases in the Court of Protection

• develop the advancement of education of the public and to further and improve the knowledge of all persons involved and interested in the law and practice of relating to Court of Protection and Mental Health and Mental Capacity issues.
