Free Event: Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards for Families and Informal Carers 

Date, Time & Location: 28th August 2024 2:00 PM – 5:00 PM via Zoom Meeting

We are hosting another free course for families and informal carers of people that are in a care home under the Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards.

The course will be run by Aasya F Mughal, Barrister, a director of Edge Training & Consultancy & co-author of the Amazon bestselling book The Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards Handbook.

The course will cover:

• What is the point of DoLS?

• Free rights for people under DoLS

• The rights and duties of a Relevant Person's Representative

• How to access free legal help for your loved one

• National guidance on care home visiting & your rights

• Concerns about the quality of remote DoLS assessments- how to challenge

• Signposting to other services/ organisations

The group size will be limited so that those attending can ask questions about their own circumstances in an informal setting and in confidence (Edge sessions are not recorded).
