Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards: Code of Practice to supplement the main Mental Capacity Act 2005 Code of Practice
£5.70
The Mental Capacity Act 2005 is the legal basis for decision making by public authorities when considering what is in the best interests of someone who lacks the mental capacity to make decisions for themselves. The code includes protections around lasting power of attorney as well as medical and financial decisions made on the incapacitated person’s behalf. The safeguards are designed to protect individuals from undue influence and ensure all professionals responsible for their care act in the patient’s best interests.
The code lays out the key principles that form the Mental Capacity Act and applies to individuals who have been deprived of their liberty to protect themselves, others and the general public.
