Deprivation of Liberty Part 1

from The Safeguarding and Domestic Abuse Sector Podcast · host Donna Ohdedar

The legal framework around deprivation of liberty has changed following the Supreme Court's AGNI judgment. But what does that actually mean for safeguarding professionals and independent reviewers? In this episode, I explore the Department of Health and Social Care's interim guidance, why this judgment matters beyond its legal implications, and why good safeguarding has always been about far more than simply meeting legal requirements.   In this episode I discuss: What the AGNI judgment changes.  Why safeguarding is about more than legal compliance.  The questions that matter most.  Why legal compliance does not always equal good practice.  Keeping learning at the centre ofindependent reviewing.    Are you interested in becoming an independent reviewer?
