Abstract
The Mental Capacity Act Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards have been introduced to provide a framework for people who are, or may become, deprived of their liberty. Here, I describe the background to the legislation and the assessment process that leads to authorisation of deprivation of liberty. I also outline the review and appeal processes and consider some of the challenges that may be associated with implementing the new legislation.
