Steve Broach and Rosie Scott have also produced a video in which they discuss the recent decision in A Local Authority v GP and RP, a case featured in this month’s report which is notable for consideration of the ‘relevant information’ in assessing a young person’s capacity to make decisions relating to their education and care.
