Couldn't see a thread on this already but great to see that they've confirmed it is unlawful for care workers to procure sex on behalf of clients:

"The characteristics of C raised a serious question about whether it would be appropriate to expose a sex worker to the risks of spending time alone with him".

This quote alone is chilling - what aren't they telling us about this person? It puts the idea to bed of a poor lickle man just wanting to be touched!

I think it's this one: www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWCA/Civ/2021/1527.html

'...for a period of three years up to October 2017 he was detained under section 3 of the Mental Health Act 1983 due to the risk he presented of sexual and physical violence to others. Since that time C has been subject to a deprivation of liberty order, made in part because of the risk of sexual and violent deviancy he presents when he suffers from intrusive thoughts. Given some of the behaviour he has exhibited, there is a serious question mark over whether he could safely be left alone with a sex worker. '
