Olivia Beach represented a vulnerable, young woman (“BX”) who is a victim of trafficking and a care leaver in a judicial review challenging the decision of the London Borough of Brent to move BX out of her accommodation and into alternative premises without her consultation and without carrying out a lawful Care Act assessment, in breach of the Care Act 2014 and the Equality Act 2010.

After issuing the claim, the London Borough of Brent subsequently agreed that BX could remain in her accommodation and to carry out a fresh care needs assessment in accordance with the Care Act 2014.

Olivia was instructed by Jonathan Farrell at Kesar & Co Solicitors.
