LPS - it's out - what do you need to know? Part 2: the most significant changes
This on-demand session considers some of the most significant changes to the Code.
The much anticipated draft Mental Capacity Act Code of Practice and Regulations, including the Liberty Protection Safeguards (“LPS”), has arrived.
On 24 May we discussed the key proposed changes to the draft Code of Practice and Regulations.
This session will consider some of the most significant changes to the Code, including:
- the “flipping”/changing the order of the capacity test
- further guidance on decisions relating to individuals with fluctuating capacity
- additional guidance about when care arrangements will not amount to a deprivation of liberty, and when cases should be referred to the Court of Protection.
The session also provided some insight on the draft Regulations, which will underpin the new LPS system. Rebecca Fitzpatrick (Partner and Head of the National Advisory and Inquests team) hosted the session alongside Julia Catherall (Senior Associate, Manchester).
