This seminar will provide an overview of the LPS and the implications for practice

In July 2018, the government published a Mental Capacity (Amendment) Bill, which passed into law in May 2019. It replaces the Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS) with a scheme known as the Liberty Protection Safeguards

This seminar will provide an overview of the following:

Background to the LPS – why they were introduced and key principles

What types of arrangements can be authorised and by whom?

The authorisation process

The key safeguards – including rights to advocacy and the Court of Protection

Other features of the LPS – including interim authorisations and the Mental Health Act interface

Next steps – the public consultation on the Code and regs, and transitional arrangements
