ADASS: Deprivation of Liberty Safeguard Forms
See also Mental Capacity Act Deprivation of Liberty chapter
Please note: The Liberty Protection Safeguards (LPS) were introduced in the Mental Capacity (Amendment) Act 2019 and proposed a new system for protecting people aged 16 years and above who lack capacity to consent to care and treatment and who need to have their liberty deprived. However, in April 2023, the Department of Health and Social Care announced that the LPS will not now be implemented before the next general election (which must be held no later than 28 January 2025).
