Target group
All stakeholders, including staff in health, care, education or other services, who may in the course of their
work encounter a person who might lack the capacity to consent to arrangements that may give rise to a
deprivation of their liberty, and who require general awareness of the LPS within the context of the wider
MCA. This competency group may include non-operational roles that would benefit from a general
understanding of the LPS and other roles, including carers, family, friends or advocates of a person who is
subject to the LPS process and may wish to learn more about it.
