On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, 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.
