Removing an individual's liberty is a serious matter. As a practitioner in health and social care, you need to know what constitutes deprivation of liberty, what to do and who is responsible for making decisions.
This online training course on the Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards is designed for people working in the field of mental health for an NHS trust or a care provider in either the public or private sector (although it is an excellent learning experience for anyone with an interest in mental health). Its purpose is to inform service users and professionals about safeguards which need to be adhered to by those working in the health and social care sector.
