‘The BBC recently published an article about the experiences of a young woman who had spent time in a range of placements including children’s homes and what sound like unregulated placements. The article suggests that it was the use of a Deprivation of Liberty (DoL) order which meant that these frequent moves took place, causing trauma to the young woman: it says for example that the DoL order ‘caused ‘more trauma and more damage’ and saw her moved to seven children’s homes, a secure adult hospital and an activity centre as a child’, and that as a result of the increasing use of DoL orders, child are losing their freedom.’
