Practical DoLS and MCA Workshops for Health and Social Care Providers
Helping providers understand the latest deprivation of liberty changes and apply the Mental Capacity Act safely in everyday care.
Supporting your team to understand what has changed and what it means in practice
Following the recent Supreme Court judgment on deprivation of liberty, health and social care providers need to review how they assess, record and evidence decisions under the Mental Capacity Act.
DoLS remains in place, and Liberty Protection Safeguards have not yet been implemented. However, the legal approach to deciding whether someone may be deprived of their liberty has changed.
For providers, this is more than a legal update.
It affects care planning, Mental Capacity Assessments, Best Interests decisions, restrictive practice, staff knowledge, documentation and CQC evidence.
At LSW Care Solutions, we provide practical workshops that help teams apply the law in real care settings, with real examples and clear actions they can take back into practice.
