Podcast: Rethinking deprivation of liberty
Join Molly Quinney (solicitor in the regulatory team) and Puja Desai (associate in the Court of Protection team) as they discuss the recent Supreme Court ruling that has reshaped the legal understanding of deprivation of liberty in health and social care.
They explore why the previous ‘acid test’ established in Cheshire West has been replaced with a new multifactorial approach, what this means for care providers and professionals and how organisations can begin to navigate the evolving legal landscape while further guidance develops.
