If a person lacks mental capacity, it could be necessary to limit their freedom. Limiting a person's freedom in this way helps provide care and prevent them from harm. DoLS should limit a person's freedom as little as possible. Arrangements are assessed to check they are necessary and in the person's best interests. Representation and the right to challenge deprivation arrangements are other safeguards that are part of DoLS.
Our Adult Care portal gives you the ability to send a DoLS application directly to the ESCC DoLS team.
