Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DOLS)
Sponsored links
Some people who live in hospitals and care homes can’t make their own decisions about their care or treatment because they lack the mental capacity to do so. They need more care and protection than others, to ensure they don’t suffer harm.
Sometimes, caring for and treating people who need extra protection may mean restricting their freedom. For instance, it might be necessary to stop a person from leaving the hospital or care home, or staff might have to make most of the choices for a person inside the care home. If there are a lot of restrictions like this, it may be that the person is being deprived of their liberty.
