Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DOLS) Level 2 (VTQ) at a Glance
We have been recognised as an endorsed provider from Skills for Care, earning the prestigious distinction as a Centre of Excellence within training and health & social care.
Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS) is a part of the Mental Capacity Act (2005). Deprivation of Liberty, also known as DoLs, and/or safeguards, aim to protect people in care homes and hospitals from being inappropriately deprived of their liberty. The DoLs or safeguards have been put in place to make sure that a care home or hospital only restrict someone's liberty safely and correctly and that this is done when there is no other way to take care of that person safely. This course covers the rules and planning need to ensure compliance and understanding.
This course is available fully online or as a half-day course with a guided learning hour of 3 and available nationally through our approved instructors.
This qualification and most of the other ProTrainings qualifications are Endorsed by TQUK to show our commitment to extra levels of compliance and quality assurance.
