In this episode it is my pleasure to talk with Victoria Butler-Cole KC , a barrister at 39 Essex Chambers. TorShe specialises in health and social care law, in particular the Court of Protection.  She is a member of the Nuffield Council on Bioethics and an advisor to the Open Justice project.

This episode is the third in a series exploring a family’s experience at the Court of Protection and what we can learn from it. In the first episode I talk with Anna about her experience at the Court of Protection, I hear how Anna and her family were unprepared for the experience and we explore the tension between deprivation of liberty and appropriate care and supervision of a person. In the second episode I talk with Mary about how it felt as a daughter to experience the Court of Protection, and what she learned about being an attorney for her Mum. You can access both of these episodes through the website www.speakforme.co.uk
