The law around deprivation of liberty (DoL) is widely misunderstood – wasting resources and bringing potential liabilities, as well as failing to properly protect patients’ rights.
Fundamental reform around DoL is likely to be coming in 2026, with a Supreme Court judgment expected on the definition of a DoL, and with a consultation about bringing in the Liberty Protection Safeguards (LPS) to replace the Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS). Staying compliant during this period of change and transition is critical.
