OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
This ‘conversation’ problematizes the role and contribution of the law in a context of talk of a “crisis in care” in relation to older people. It first sets out the legal situation, identifying the role of law and human rights in ensuring a decent standard of care in old age. However, the use of law to ensure rights to a decent standard of care is not a panacea. The law sets down minimum standards, not the standards to which we should aspire. The presentation goes on to consider other elements of an appropriate and effective response to protecting the rights and interests of older people regarding care.
The presentation will be given by Jonathan Herring, DM Wolfe-Clarendon Fellow and Tutor in Law, Exeter College, University of Oxford, and will be followed by an open discussion.
