Additional information

The course illustrates the essential principles and processes contained in the Code of Practice and makes them engaging and accessible. It covers the 'must know' aspects of the code and gives learners the opportunity to reflect on their own experiences and apply the principles to their own situation. Case studies are included, highlighting issues in a range of settings which affect workers faced with considerations of deprivation of liberty.

Those most likely to be affected by the Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards include practitioners in all settings who care for and work with people who at one time or another lack the capacity to make decisions, such as those with dementia and other mental health problems.

Our e-learning courses can be used in addition to conventional training or as a useful alternative for those who prefer to work at their own pace and at a time and place of their choosing.

E-learning is an efficient and cost-effective way to deliver this knowledge. The course provides the required key facts and includes quizzes and tests within each unit and a formal assessment at the end to check learning and understanding. On completion, staff will be equipped with the necessary knowledge to carry out their duties competently and with confidence.
