Webinar: All things Court of Protection for social care providers
In this session, Helen Claridge explains when and why providers are drawn into Court of Protection proceedings, what’s expected of you, and how to respond confidently while keeping the focus on the person’s best interests.
What’s covered
- What the Court of Protection is, what it does, and why you might be involved
- LPAs and the Office of the Public Guardian (OPG) — how they interact with provider decision‑making
- DoLS challenges (including Section 21A): common triggers, practical steps, and what “best interests” looks like in practice
- Hospital discharges for people lacking capacity — working with LA/ICB when families disagree
- Care‑at‑home disputes — lawfully authorising moves and maintaining safe packages
- RTM attendance and disclosure requests — what’s reasonable, what’s required, and how to respond
- What the future may hold (including Liberty Protection Safeguards) — and how changes could affect providers and your business
