Following the landmark Lumb decision in 2024 and the more recent Court of Protection judgment concerning Direct Payments, what does this mean for case managers in practice?
We are delighted to welcome James Pantling-Skeet, Partner at Boyes Turner, and Arianna Kelly, Barrister at 39 Essex Chambers, who were both directly involved in the recent Court of Protection proceedings.
They will be joined by Wendy Irons, Brain Injury Case Manager at Head First, who was involved in the original Lumb case and will bring a valuable case manager's perspective.
Chaired by Louise Chance, BABICM Chair, this session will explore:
πΉ The management of Direct Payments following the recent judgment
πΉ The implications for case managers and professional deputies
πΉ Considerations around P's best interests when a professional is proposed to manage Direct Payments
πΉ The practical challenges and lessons for everyday case management
This webinar is exclusive to BABICM members and is FREE to attend as part of your membership benefits.
