This is so important, when we 'review care plans' it's not just about updating to reflect a change in needs, it's to reflect change and growth in a person. Our lives and interests change as adults, the question is - what opportunities are people given to experience something new?
It’s not 1987.

ALT ID:Text at the top of the image reads: Remember: The interests of people with intellectual disabilities change over time. Two official looking people (one with clipboard). Their speech bubble reads: This is Kevin. Kevin's Person-Centered Plan says that he is a big Elton John fan. Disabled man sat in a wheelchair looking up at two people. His speech bubble reads: For fucks sake I said that in 1987.

The delay in Liberty Protection Safeguards means ICBs must focus on CoPDoL cases and ensure individuals under your care are not at risk of being deprived of their liberty unlawfully. Our Team is here to ensure compliance with this and protect human rights. [[link]]

Short poem on the interface 🤣
“MHA and MCA, they intertwine,
In halls of law, where definitions line.
One speaks of health, the other, capacity,
Together shaping mental legality.
In complex cases, their borders meet,
Guiding hands in judgments, bittersweet.
Two acts converge, in legal dance,
For those they touch, they offer a chance.”
