Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DOLS)

There has recently been some confusion from delegates about which MCA/DOLS course is most appropriate for them to attend. We have pulled all the training together in the attached document and identified the target audience for each course. We hope this will help in signposting delegates to the appropriate course. MCA DOLS programme Aims & Objectives

• Understand the roles and duties of the managing authority in working within local processes, as governed by the Supervisory body, including making full, clear and accurate referrals
• Provide opportunities for care providers to explore case studies together

• Understand and apply the learning of DoLS, including best practice on reducing restrictions

Target Group: This full day training programme is intended for Independent, Private, and Voluntary settings:

• Care Workers in services which support adults who may have difficulties in making their own         decisions due to temporary or permanent loss of ‘capacity’.
• Managers and other senior staff wishing to ‘refresh’ their knowledge of MCA.This training will be delivered in an informal style to enable participants to apply the Mental Capacity Act and Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards within their care services.
