Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS) continue to play a critical role in protecting the rights of individuals who may lack capacity to make certain decisions.
Following the AGNI judgment, practitioners and leaders are increasingly required to navigate complex situations where issues of capacity, risk, autonomy and restrictive care arrangements intersect.
Join Jo Sutherland, Consulting Services Manager at Reed Talent Solutions, and Neil Allen, Barrister at 39 Essex Chambers, as they explore current challenges facing services, lessons from case law, emerging practice considerations and the application of the Mental Capacity Act in complex circumstances.
Neil will offer his perspective as a legal educator and author specialising in mental capacity and mental health law to outline his view on what the judgement means for future practice.
