Liberty and Security

Abstract

A recent case in the Court of Protection has focused attention on the legal position of supported living arrangements for people with learning disabilities. As well as the question of whether there had been a deprivation of liberty, the court also considered the validity of the tenancy and whether the arrangements constituted a ‘care home’, such that registration under the Care Standards Act would be required.
