Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards

This may mean restricting their freedom to the point of depriving them of their liberty by ways such as preventing them from leaving or monitoring them very closely to keep them safe.

We have a dedicated team of experienced Best Interest Assessors whose job it is to look at individual cases to make sure these arrangements are appropriate. In particular, they will make sure that any restrictions are the minimal necessary and are in place for the shortest possible time. They will work with relatives and other representatives to listen to their views.
