SUMMARY:All things Court of Protection for social care providers
DESCRIPTION:A recording of the webinar can reviewed below\, and a copy of t
 he slides can be found HERE. \n\nhttps://youtu.be/9vAYnzs50o8\n\n&nbsp\;\
 n\nCare England was pleased to host a timely and highly practical webinar 
 on All Things Court of Protection for Social Care Providers\, led by Hemps
 ons health and social care law specialist Helen Claridge. The session was 
 designed for providers who wanted to strengthen their legal confidence in 
 an increasingly complex and high-risk landscape.\nThe Court of Protection 
 is no longer a niche issue. Providers are now routinely drawn into cases i
 nvolving disputes about capacity\, best interests\, serious safeguarding c
 oncerns\, family challenge\, and restrictions on liberty. At the same time
 \, the DoLS system remains under severe pressure nationally\, with signifi
 cant backlogs\, inconsistent local authority practice\, and ongoing uncert
 ainty about what “lawful deprivation of liberty” looks like in practic
 e. Many providers are operating in a grey area without realising it – cr
 eating potential exposure for organisations and individuals alike.\nDuring
  the webinar\, we:\n\n\n 	Clarified when and why providers become involved
  in Court of Protection proceedings\n 	Explored the real-world risks of ge
 tting it wrong – including regulatory\, legal and reputational consequen
 ces\n 	Provided an update on DoLS pressures\, evolving case law\, and what
  may be coming next\n 	Shared practical guidance and top tips to help mana
 gers and clinicians navigate complex situations with greater confidence\n\
 nDesigned for care home managers\, senior leaders and clinicians\, the ses
 sion went beyond theory. It helped providers understand where the legal la
 ndscape is shifting\, what good practice looks like\, and how to protect b
 oth the people they support and their organisation.\nAs part of the webina
 r\, we were pleased to share a resource from Hempsons’ Did you know seri
 es\, which provides helpful background information on the Court of Protect
 ion.\nPlease note that this guidance is intended for a wide range of provi
 ders who may have contact with the Court of Protection. As such\, not all 
 of the articles will be directly relevant to social care providers\, but t
 hey offer useful general context to support understanding.\n\nDid you know
 : All about the Court of Protection\nShould you wish to discuss any of the
  points raised or have further questions\, please contact:\nHelen Claridge
