  • Poor sound quality

    Yes - as stated by another reviewer, why the poor sound quality? It’s really off-putting and reduces the impact of what’s being said. Some simple advice from a sound engineer, or even one of your mates, would help!

  • Great idea but not well delivered

    The discussions are often very interesting but it is a nightmare sometimes to actually hear clearly as the audio is very very poor in episodes to the point it would have been more appropriate to not publish.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Alex Ruck Keene talks Cheshire West, the Supreme Court ruling and what it means for you
Q: Do you think there will be a push for a statutory definition of deprivation of liberty?
Yes, there is discussion of statutory definitions as an alternative approach, with some groups advocating for clearer national standards to prevent over-reliance on court rulings and to ensure consistent oversight.
Alex Ruck Keene talks Cheshire West, the Supreme Court ruling and what it means for you
Q: What are the practical implications for social workers and DoLS/LPS moving forward?
Practitioners should prepare for guidance updates, focus on ways to capture reliable wishes and feelings even when capacity is lacking, and monitor how LPS may be narrowed in scope; many changes will depend on forthcoming statutory guidance from DHSC.
Alex Ruck Keene talks Cheshire West, the Supreme Court ruling and what it means for you
Q: What does the new ruling say is the correct way to identify a deprivation of liberty under Article 5?
The ruling rejects a single acid test and endorses a multi-factorial assessment that considers the objective and subjective elements, as well as imputability to the state, aligning more with Strasbourg jurisprudence than Cheshire West.
Alex Ruck Keene talks Cheshire West, the Supreme Court ruling and what it means for you
Q: Can you briefly explain who was involved and what they were arguing in the reference that came to the Supreme Court?
The reference was made by the Northern Ireland Attorney General to question whether a Minister for Health could issue guidance affecting deprivation of liberty; the focus was on whether Cheshire West's acid test should continue to apply or be replaced with a broader approach.
Season 2 Episode 6 - county lines: playing the long game
Q: Do you think a social work intervention at this point would have helped, or was there anything else that might have helped you escape earlier than you did?
My family needed the support more than me, especially my mother who was managing various family crises.
