How do the deprivation of liberty safeguards protect people?
They introduce a standard process that hospitals and care homes must follow before they deprive a person of their liberty. If people do need to be deprived of their liberty in their own best interests, the safeguards protect them by providing: • a representative to act for them and protect their interests; • rights of challenge to the Court of Protection against unlawful deprivation of liberty; • rights for their deprivation of liberty to be reviewed and monitored on a regular basis.
