Deprivation Of Liberty Safeguards

Practical and up-to-date guidance to ensure compliance with the Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards

Introduction

Introduced in April 2009 as part of the Mental Capacity Act 2005, the Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards have generated a significant amount of debate and controversy. This year has seen an explosion of case law in relation to the area, including a judgement looking at what exactly constitutes a deprivation of liberty. It is essential that practitioners involved in this area understand how to correctly apply the Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards as unlawful breaches can result in substantial costs and damages for local authorities and PCTs.

Expertly chaired by Andrew Parsons of RadcliffesLeBrasseur, this essential one day conference will provide you with clear guidance on all the pertinent issues surrounding the Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards. Our multi-disciplinary panel of speakers, includes representatives from the Care Quality Commission, Bupa Care Homes and the Royal Free Hampstead NHS Trust.
