Mental Capacity Act 2005: Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards – standard forms

The forms can be adapted but, if used in unedited form, they help all those involved in the safeguards processes to fully meet the requirements of the deprivation of liberty safeguards legislation. Anybody in possession of or using the draft forms published last year is strongly advised to dispose of those forms, as there have been a number of amendments made to them since October 2008, and replace them with and use the current versions.
