CARE HOME WITHOUT WALLS
DISABILITY, COERCION AND FREEDOM AT HOME
A legal and psychological study of care, capacity, identity, veganism, companion animals, exploitation and false imprisonment in England
AN ANONYMISED CASE STUDY
| Central claim A person should not have to enter an institution—or depend on unpaid, coerced or sexualised arrangements—in order to obtain care sufficient to live safely at home. The legal question, however, is not resolved by a slogan. It turns on assessment, eligibility, evidence, risk, lawful planning, reasons, proportionality and effective remedies. |
