Alex RKRegistration is open for the next NMCF Webinar, which takes places this Thursday, 11 April, noon-1pm. The focus will be on the challenges of applying the MCA/DoLS framework in the absence of the Liberty Protection Safeguard (LPS). With implementation of the LPS now postponed, how can we best ensure effective implementation of the MCA/DoLS framework so as to provide meaningful protection of the liberty of vulnerable persons whose capacity may be impaired?
Confirmed speakers include: Margaret Flynn (NMCF Chair); Lorraine Currie (West Midlands ADASS); Martin Sexton (Principal Social Worker for Adult Social Care, Salford); Chelle Farnan; Ben Troke (Partner, Weightmans Solicitors); Alex Ruck Keene (Barrister, 39 Essex Chambers).
