Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS) are measures designed to protect the rights and freedoms of people who may lack the mental capacity to consent to their care or treatment. This CPD course helps health and social care professionals understand when a person may be deprived of their liberty and how safeguards support lawful, person-centred care. It builds practical awareness of the Mental Capacity Act, capacity assessments, individual rights and responsibilities. By developing this knowledge, learners can approach restrictive care situations with greater confidence, care and accountability.
The course takes you through the key stages of the DoLS process, from understanding capacity and applying the principles of the Mental Capacity Act to requesting authorisation and understanding the assessments involved. You’ll explore how DoLS decisions are made, the responsibilities of those involved and how safeguards help protect individuals in care settings. Practical, accessible learning supports you in connecting legal and safeguarding principles with everyday professional situations. It is a flexible way to strengthen your knowledge of DoLS and support more informed practice in health and social care.
