ASPire 2024: Undue pressure

This video, from the ASPire 2024 conference, explores the issue of undue pressure. This includes when it's relevant, how it is defined, and how it is proved. The video particularly sets out the legal context and challenges in proving undue pressure is (or has been) occurring. Reference is made to the case of 'AB', in which undue pressure was a factor.

ASPire 2024: Case of 'AB' (Mental Welfare Commission)

This video, from the ASPire 2024 conference, explores the case of 'AB'. This person had mild-moderate learning disabilities and a long-term medical condition, and died aged 52. Alongside AB, the case highlights the role of CD, who repeatedly thwarted AB's access to medical care and support. The video outlines lessons to be learned for the future, particularly considering the issue of undue pressure.
