About the Episode
In this last bonus episode of the lABLEd Podcast, we dive deep into the complex world of disability, care, and legal rights with solicitor Heledd Wyn. Join us as we explore the nuanced landscape of mental capacity, care assessments, and the challenges faced by disabled individuals and their families.
Heledd breaks down the Mental Capacity Act, sharing insights into how care decisions are made, the importance of individual autonomy, and the delicate balance between supporting those with fluctuating capacity and respecting their personal choices. Lucy and Alice bring personal perspectives to the conversation, discussing the real-world implications of care provision, from navigating bureaucratic assessments to maintaining dignity and independence.
This episode offers a candid, sometimes humorous, and always compassionate look at the legal and personal challenges of care support. Whether you’re a disabled person, a caregiver, or simply want to understand more about disability rights, this conversation is both eye-opening and empowering.
