| Annotation | The concerns of one relative about the care of her aunt in a residential home led to a regional conference on "Risk and Restraint" in May 1997, organised by Cumbria Social Services Department and Anchor Trust in Association with Counsel and Care. This article presents summaries of the speeches made at the conference: a relative's view of electronic tagging; the ethical use of technology for people people with dementia by Mary Marshall; the question of the rights of older people in relation to risk and restraint by Jef Smith; the role of the law in protecting vulnerable people from risk, and in protecting their rights, by District Judge Gordon Ashton; and the Law Commission's report on mental incapacity published in 1995, which proposed new powers for social services and protection for vulnerable people under a single comprehensive piece of legislation. |
