In the general scheme of things, are there any other jurisdictions where best practice or the utopia exists in order to comply with the various articles of the UNCRPD? I presume the phrase used, "protection of liberty safeguards", is linked to the draft adult safeguarding Bill 2024. If they are different, the witnesses might say so. How will the lessons learnt to date from the Assisted Decision-Making (Capacity) Act 2015 inform the process in relation to the proposed adult safeguarding Bill?
