Have your say on the new Liberty Protection Safeguards

The government is updating the Mental Capacity Act Code of Practice and considering a new system of safeguards – the Liberty Protection Safeguards. This new system will replace the Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards.

They want to know what you think about the new system they have designed.

The government knows that not everyone will want to fill out the consultation survey. Because of this, they will also be holding some online events. These events will give people with lived experience of the Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards and the Mental Capacity Act the opportunity to tell the government what they think about the Liberty Protection Safeguards and what this might mean for them.

The online events will be roughly two and half hours long, with half an hour for breaks. The events will be run by the Department of Health and Social Care. They will be led by Hilary Paxton who has previously led events for people with lived experience about the Liberty Protection Safeguards.
