Hi Karen,
A colleague had a similar scenario recently. In that case the actual deprivation of liberty was pronounced in that he was on a 3:1 at all times in his bespoke placement and in the community!
The first question is whether your client has capacity to agree (even if they are not necessarily happy with the arrangement) to the care plan and the restrictions placed upon them?
Sounds like it may be fact sensitive and happy to discuss further if you wish to call me at the office tomorrow.
