Welcome to the Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards training course.
Depriving someone of their liberty is a serious decision, and you must always follow the correct legal process. This training guides you through each step, helping you act lawfully, safely, and with sensitivity.
The Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS) protect individuals who may lack the mental capacity to make decisions for themselves. They ensure you only apply restrictions when they are necessary, proportionate, and in the person’s best interests, while also protecting their rights.
With over 300,000 DoLS applications recorded in recent years—and numbers continuing to rise—care professionals must fully understand their responsibilities.
This course explains what DoLS are and outlines the six assessments you must complete before authorising a deprivation of liberty. It also clarifies the differences between restraint, restriction, and deprivation, so you can apply the correct approach in practice.
