Actors have been used in this short film. This drama is set in a care home for older people. Peter Robinson has dementia and concern about his eating has led to a discussion by medical staff as to whether he should have a PEG (a tube for feeding directly into the stomach) fitted. Mr Robinson has been assessed as lacking capacity to make this decision himself. Because he has very limited contact with family, an IMCA is instructed by the doctor to represent him in this best interests decision. The film shows the role of the IMCA - which includes communicating with the person who lacks capacity, consulting others and writing a report. It also shows how important the care worker's knowledge of Mr Robinson is for the best interests decision. Learning support materials have been developed for both care workers and professionals to accompany this film. This film was previously available under the title: 'Peter's IMCA.' (Publisher abstract)

This is the fifth annual monitoring report on the implementation of the Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards. The report focuses on the impact on outcomes for people who lack mental capacity and may be deprived of their liberty, and highlights CQC actions and recommendations for improvement. The report draws on a range of sources, including analysis of a sample of 214 inspection reports of hospitals and care homes inspected in 2014/15 and data on Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards notifications received by CQC in 2014/15. Short case studies and good practice examples are included within the report. Key findings show there has been a tenfold rise in Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards applications from 13,715 in the year ending March 2014 to 137,540 by March 2015 which has also resulted in a backlog in local authority processing of applications. Evidence from CQC inspections also found that providers' use of the Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards was variable in relation to levels of staff training and awareness and the existence and implementation of policies and processes. Examples where provides may be unlawfully depriving people of their liberty were also identified. (Edited publisher abstract)
