PSQB Members deliver training on Deprivation of Liberty & Children

Members of the Court of Protection and Family teams delivered a seminar on 20 March 2024 to over 100 delegates.

Ayshea Megyery delivered a talk on authorising a deprivation of liberty for those under 18 and considered when to use the Court of Protection and when to use the inherent jurisdiction of the High Court.

Emily Reed delivered a talk on the boundaries of parental responsibility in circumstances when a child might be deprived of their liberty.

Since the seminar, the law society has published a useful document on deprivation of liberty which can be accessed here  https://www.lawsociety.org.uk/topics/private-client/deprivation-of-liberty-safeguards-a-practical-guide.

Thank you for all those who attended and we look forward to hosting more seminars in the future.
