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.

Target group

Clinical staff and supervisors or managers of staff or volunteers in Competency Group A, who may need to identify when a

person may be deprived of their liberty, and when authorisation may be required to protect their rights under the LPS.

Whilst the LPS process may be triggered as part of care or treatment planning, some individuals may need to know how to

make a referral to the Responsible Body, so that it can arrange for the relevant assessments to be carried out. This might

include managers of care homes or other adult social care services, children’s residential care home managers or clinical

staff in health services.
