The Mental Capacity & Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS)
The Mental Capacity Act (MCA) 2005 is a law designed to protect and empower people who may lack the mental capacity to make their own decisions. It applies to everyone working in health and social care who is involved in the care, treatment, and support of people aged 16 and over. The MCA is based on five key principles that guide all actions and decisions made for those who lack capacity.
This at a glance summary presents an overview of the Mental Capacity Act (MCA) 2005, which is important to health and social care practice Mental Capacity Act 2005 at a glance – SCIE
The Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS) provide additional protection for the most vulnerable people living in residential homes, nursing homes, hospitals, and supported housing. These safeguards ensure that any deprivation of liberty is done safely and correctly, and only when all other less restrictive options have been explored.
The SAEB have produced this leaflet below as a guide for people to understand what a Deprivation of Liberty is all about and who can be a Relevant Person’s Representative (RPR).
