Shared insights: Managing children with complex needs in crisis
09 December 2025
Online
This session, led by Ed Pollard and Rebecca Fitzpatrick, will provide delegates with an understanding of the legal frameworks and best practice when managing children with complex mental health and behavioural needs who are in crisis.
Delegates will learn from real world experience and case studies, to illustrate how these legal frameworks should be applied in complex cases involving children in mental and behavioural health crisis on the frontline of health and social care.
Chaired by Rebecca Fitzpatrick, who heads Browne Jacobson’s health advisory and inquest team and sits as a First-Tier Mental Health Tribunal Judge, we will hear insights from a panel which will include:
- Professor Ralph Sandland and Dr Grace Carter, academics from the University of Nottingham’s School of Law and Co-Directors of the Centre for Mental Health and Human Rights.
- Ed Pollard, Partner at Browne Jacobson.
Delegates will have the opportunity to put questions to the panel and share learning and best practice.
Our in-person and online events are designed exclusively for clients and targets. As such, we reserve the right to cancel bookings. If you’d like to speak to a member of the team regarding your attendance, please contact us
