Adult safeguarding have got involved due to concerns of risk my son poses to himself and myself and husband whilst at crisis.A safeguarding meeting was held between professionals to discuss a plan.

Safeguarding have come back to me and said they are going to the court of protection to make a decision for my son.

Any one been in this position that can offer advice please ?

Shouldn't mean you stop caring for him or looking after his best interest. You have to fight to stay in his life and ensure their care means he really is getting the best treatment and help and not neglected or abused by them xx Locking him up or restraining isn't best method but control by himself best way forward and they have to do this through behaviour therapist or therapists helping him properly
