Deprivation of Liberty Part 2

The legal landscape around deprivation of liberty has changed. In this episode, I continue the conversation about the recent UK Supreme Court judgment following the reference by the Attorney General for Northern Ireland. The decision marks a significant shift in how practitioners should determine whether someone is deprived of their liberty, moving away from the familiar *Cheshire West* "acid test" towards a broader, more holistic assessment of each individual's circumstances. In this episode I explore: - Why the Supreme Court judgment represents a significant change in deprivation of liberty law. - How the long-established *Cheshire West* acid test is no longer intended to be the primary determining factor. - What a more holistic assessment looks like in practice, including consideration of the person's circumstances, wishes, feelings and acceptance of their care arrangements. - Why professional judgement is becoming increasingly important alongside legal frameworks. - What this means for safeguarding professionals and those involved in independent reviews. - The importance of continuing to place the individual, their rights and their lived experience at the centre of decision-making.
