Course program
Course Outline:
The Mental Capacity Act Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards came into force on 1 April 2009. The act
intends to protect people in care homes and hospitals from being inappropriately deprived of their liberty.
The safeguards have been put in place to ensure that when someone’s liberty is restricted it is done safely
and correctly and always in the best interest of the patient.
This course is intended for health and social care professionals who work directly with patients who may
lack capacity, including patients with dementia.
The course will support them when dealing with aspects of
the Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS). By the end of the course learners will have a clear
understanding of legislation, including eligibility, the assessment of authorisation processes and renewal.
This course consists of five modules:
• What is a Deprivation of Liberty?
• Roles and Responsibilities for Care Professionals
• Role of the Independent Mental Capacity Advocate and DoLS
• What is the Mental Capacity Act?
• DoLS Authorisation Types
Course Objectives:
All care providers must be aware of the issues surrounding depriving individuals of their liberty whilst they
are being cared for. The course will outline potential situations which require considerable thought to
ensure safeguards are met and the law is complied with. Following on from this will be the procedure for
application of authority and “best interests” criteria.
