FREE Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS) Essentials Online Training Course
This online training course impacts on your day-to-day interactions with people you support who may not have mental capacity to consent in a care home setting. The legislation also covers people who can no longer live at home and alternative arrangements need to be made. You will learn about the changes to the law that happened because carers spoke up where they felt a situation was wrong and their actions led to more detailed checks about people's rights.
DoLS is being replaced with Liberty Protection Safeguards (LPS). A national group is developing a Code of Practice to explain LPS. Target date for completion of this work is now scheduled for Winter 2021 with new regulations in effect from April 2022. This online course includes information about these changes and links to current documents.
