Steven Neary’s Father Mark Talks To Victoria Derbyshire

March 1, 2011

A father who fought for his right to have his twenty year-old autistic son live at home with him has won his case.

Mark Neary from Uxbridge in Middlesex was separated from Steven in December 2009 for what was meant to be just a few days but in April 2010, Hillingdon Council applied for a Deprivation of Liberty order, meaning he could only return home from care for a couple of hours at a time and was barred from staying overnight.

The case went to the Court of Protection at the end of last year and a judge granted an interim order that has allowed Steven to return home.

Mark Neary tells BBC Radio 5 live’s Victoria Derbyshire how his son is settling in back at home.
