Australia's Modern Slavery Act (MSA) has pioneered a transparency-based approach in tackling modern slavery risks within supply chains since 2018. While the MSA encourages companies to report on their efforts, its lack of concrete enforcement mechanisms, such as penalties or injunctions, raises questions about its efficacy. Recent statutory reviews highlighted compliance challenges and low reporting rates, pushing for stronger legislation that includes civil penalties, positive due diligence obligations, and an expanded reporting scope. The global landscape of due diligence legislation, particularly in Europe, shows a trend toward stricter enforcement mechanisms, suggesting that Australia may need to reconsider its approach. Introducing concrete enforcement mechanisms is critical to ensure compliance, but how can Australia strike a balance between protecting human rights and supporting businesses' competitiveness?

Proud to have been part of the hard working team on this recently reported case of KZ whereby the Vice President clarified- 1) S16(2) MCA can be used to make ancticipatory declarations to authorise a deprivation liberty when it comes to cases of fluctuating capacity. 2) As regards wider issues concerning the assessment of mental capacity of deaf individuals the following should be an essential part of any such assessment. The experience in this case demonstrates the use of a non-specialist expert is not an appropriate substitute for the specialist assessment and risks incorrect conclusions regarding capacity being reached. Where an assessment is required the following considerations should guide any assessment of a deaf individual fluent in BSL: a)Any mental capacity assessment of a deaf individual fluent in BSL should ideally be undertaken by an assessor who is suitably qualified to communicate at the relevant level of BSL. If that is not done, there should be a clear explanation why and what measures, if any, are proposed to be in place to manage that gap. B) The assessor should ideally have a background in understanding deafness and engaging with the deaf community. If they don’t, there should be a clear explanation why they are undertaking the assessment without such knowledge. https://lnkd.in/ehdjeGJw

Peace is not the absence of conflict, but the ability to handle conflict by peaceful means." – Ronald Reagan As we celebrate Ganesh Chaturthi, the festival of new beginnings and the remover of obstacles, it’s the perfect time to remind ourselves that conflict is a part of life, but so is resolution.

IMPORTANT CONVERSATIONS Serie 1 Contemporary issues with classical themes. I will share coming period interesting and valuable discussions. This is no2. SALMON OR CHEESE Today about education. One of the most intriguing stories of the last centuries about education. STRICTEST HEADMISTRESS OF ENGLAND Today the headmistress, Katharine Birbalsingh who runs the neo-conservative MICHAELA COMMUNITY SCHOOL in London https://lnkd.in/etBFHhKT with great success. THE ELITE LEFT ARE AGAINST GOOD EDUCATION The Michaela School encountered a lot of resistance from the so called, social-justice movement and the 'radical left' who believes that children are adults in child bodies etc. and that people of colour should follow their lead if it is about morals and representation. A kind of inward focused 'black tax' debt. BACK TO BASICS The Michaela School (re)turns to the core of education. They believe that knowledge is power. And that adults should lead and decrease choices for children. Michaela goes back to the idea of supporting the nation as a whole and teach the importance of shared set of common values. Its inspiring and hopeful. Listen and learn.

Key points from the very recently published KZ case, in which Stephensons' Court of Protection Team acted via the Official Solicitor: - s.16(2) Mental Capacity Act 2005 can be used to make an anticipatory declaration authorising a deprivation of liberty in cases of fluctuating capacity. - Any mental capacity assessment of a deaf individual fluent in British Sign Language should ideally be undertaken by an assessor who is suitably qualified to communicate at the relevant level of BSL. If that is not done, there should be a clear explanation why and what measures, if any, are proposed to be in place to manage that gap. - The capacity assessor should ideally have a background in understanding deafness and engaging with the deaf community. If they don’t, there should be a clear explanation of why they are undertaking the assessment without such knowledge. https://lnkd.in/eCMc5_5M
