A really interesting first seminar from COPPA West Mids coming up on 26 Sept.

Thanks very much for the very kind The Legal 500 comments, but this will only encourage me to be even nerdier about the Care Act than I already am... #L500UK2021

Huge congratulations to our friend and mentor. I had the great fortune of having the now-His Honour Judge Burrows as a pupil supervisor, and saw his phenomenal intellect and dedication to helping people in difficult circumstances up close. Chambers' loss is the judiciary's gain.

Sam Karim QC, Eliza Sharron and I were joined by critical care specialist Jenny Abthorpe to discuss Serious Medical Treatment in the COP, including how Covid-19 affects capacity, and recent cases on Advance Decisions and capacity in SMT. 1/2 Kings Chambers kingschambers.com/latest-news/ki…

Real life CoPPA_WM committee!So lovely to meet each other in person for the first time! Rebecca Bristow Julia Jones Douglas Houghton Eliza Sharron

It was fantastic to be involved with the National COPPA conference last week, and now I'm really looking forward to returning to practice next week. I'm also thrilled to see that whilst I've been away, I've been ranked Tier 1 for COP and Public Law & Admin on Northern/NE Circuit!

Looking forward to talking about all things Care Act, including the legal effect of the well-being principle, support pending assessments and care and support to avoid breaches of human rights at Community Care Live this afternoon Community Care #cclive21

So important - and for more this may be useful: mentalcapacitylawandpolicy.org.uk/wp-content/upl…

🔷 DEFENCE STATEMENT 🔷 1. There was no party 2. If there was a party, I did not attend 3. If I did attend the party, I did not realise it was a party 4. If I attended the party and realised it was a party, I did not know that parties were banned under the rules that I wrote.

HNY all 🥳 First event of 2023 for CoPPA West Mids coming up later this month. We’re also recruiting for new committee members so pls do submit interest if you fancy joining a welcoming, proactive group of COP people from the Midlands #event #committee #courtofprotection #cop

Very much looking forward to starting this new role.

Thrilled to have been able to work with Irwin Mitchell to bring about this fantastic change to how disabled children access social care across Birmingham, which has been impacting many families across the city.

Share the truth! #HamasisISIS
