In doing so, the Supreme Court held that:</p> <ul> <li>There is no “acid test” when it comes to determining whether a person is deprived of their liberty, and instead a multifactorial assessment must be undertaken, and</li> <li>A person who lacks capacity within the meaning of the Mental Capacity Act 2005 can still give valid consent to their confinement for the purposes of the subjective element of the Article 5 test.</li> </ul> <p>Discussing this issue is Alex Ruck Keene, an experienced barrister, writer and educator. His practice at 39 Essex Chambers is focused on mental capacity, mental health and healthcare law, in which he has appeared in cases at all levels up to and including The Supreme Court and the European Court of Human Rights. And indeed, Alex was one of the barristers on the Attorney General for Northern Ireland's legal team in this Supreme Court case.</p> <p>Questions were asked by Natalie Valios, senior content editor, Community Care Inform Adults.</p> <p>0:01:30 - How the case came about</p> <p>0:04:08 – Why judges have been uneasy about the acid test</p> <p>0:08:03 – The parties involved and their arguments to the court</p> <p>0:14:24 – Who did the Supreme Court rule in favour of?</p> <p>0:15:38 – Clarifying the correct approach to identifying a deprivation of liberty</p> <p>0:21:08 – The meaning of multifactorial</p> <p>0:23:22 – Reassuring anyone worried about removal of safeguards for disabled people</p> <p>0:26:24 – Can the case be challenged?</p> <p>0:29:42 – Is a statutory definition needed?</p> <p>0:32:14 – What happens next?</p> <p>0:37:01 – What does this mean for Liberty Protection Safeguards?</p> <p><strong>References</strong></p> <ul> <li><a href="https://supremecourt.uk/uploads/uksc_2025_0042_judgment_4f54653cf4.pdf">The Supreme Court judgment</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.supremecourt.uk/cases/uksc-2025-0042">Supreme Court summary</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.mentalcapacitylawandpolicy.org.uk/resources-2/agni-resources/">Mental Capacity Law and Policy: Attorney General for Northern Ireland resources</a></li> </ul><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>

Season 2 Episode 5 - welfare benefits
This episode focuses on welfare benefits and support in England and Wales.<br /><br />The welfare benefits system is designed to provide financial support to individuals and families in need. However, according to a report published in 2025 by Policy in Practice, over 7 million households in the UK are missing out on benefits and support due to limited awareness, complexity in the benefits system and stigma around claiming. These barriers are found to often overlap and disproportionately affect people already facing other disadvantages, including carers, disabled adults, older people on low incomes, single parents and people without strong social networks.<br /><br />Discussing this topic is Gary Vaux, the author of Community Care Inform's Benefits A-Z knowledge and practice hub. Gary has been involved in welfare rights for many years and until recently managed a team of local authority benefit and debt advice workers. His background includes training and writing on welfare benefit rules and policies, and he was also chair of the Social Security Advisers Group at the Local Government Association.<br /><br />Questions are asked by Gemma Balmford, content editor at Community Care Inform Adults.<br /><br />Subscribe to the <i>Learn on the go</i> series to stay up-to-date with new episodes. Look out for the final episode in Season 2, which will be released at the end of February 2026. <br /><br /><b>Links to resources mentioned in this podcast</b><br /><ul><li><a href="https://www.advicenow.org.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Advicenow</a></li><li><a href="https://www.ageuk.org.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Age UK</a></li><li><a href="https://www.benefitsandwork.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benefits and Work</a></li><li><a href="https://adults.ccinform.co.uk/knowledge-hubs/benefits-a-z/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">CC Inform's benefits A-Z</a> (free for CC Inform subscribers)</li><li><a href="https://cpag.org.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Child Poverty Action Group</a></li><li><a href="https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Citizens Advice</a></li><li><a href="https://contact.org.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Contact</a></li><li><a href="https://www.disabilityrightsuk.org/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Disability Rights UK</a></li><li><a href="https://www.entitledto.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">entitledto</a></li><li><a href="https://www.mencap.org.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Mencap</a></li><li><a href="https://www.mind.org.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">MIND</a></li><li><a href="https://www.mndassociation.org/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Motor Neurone Disease Association</a></li><li><a href="https://policyinpractice.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Policy in Practice</a></li><li><a href="https://www.rightsnet.org.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Rightsnet</a></li><li><a href="https://www.rnib.org.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">RNIB</a></li><li><a href="https://rnid.org.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">RNID</a></li><li><a href="https://www.scope.org.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Scope</a></li><li><a href="https://www.turn2us.org.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Turn2Us</a></li></ul>
