The Government has committed to a new consultation on Liberty Protection Safeguards in 2026, with the aim of improving protection and creating a simpler, more effective system. LPS were originally designed to replace DoLS, operate more closely alongside care planning, extend safeguards to 16 and 17-year-olds, and cover settings beyond hospitals and care homes. However, implementation has been delayed repeatedly, and DoLS remains the current legal framework.
This conference will focus on improving practice within the current Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards system, while preparing health and social care professionals for the anticipated Liberty Protection Safeguards consultation and future reform.
