This awareness course is suitable for everyone. It provides learners with the knowledge to recognise a suspected mental health condition, the skills to start a conversation, and be able to signpost a person towards professional help.
LPS was introduced in the Mental Capacity (Amendment) Act 2019 and is designed to simplify the process of authorising the care and treatment of a person who lacks capacity to consent to it, where it constitutes a deprivation of liberty. The LPS system introduces new structures, roles, and responsibilities for organisations so it is essential that staff and managers understand the implementation of LPS.
