Notes

Hard on the heels of Neary v London Borough of Hillingdon (16 June 2011), another local authority has fallen foul of the Court of Protection for an unlawful deprivation of liberty, this time for a child in a special school where his care included seclusion in a padded room.

Like Re Steven Neary; LB Hillingdon v Steven Neary [2011] EWHC 1377 (COP), C v A Local Authority has lessons about deprivation of liberty, care planning and management, and involvement of families more widely.
