The new Liberty Protection Safeguards (LPS) seek to further protect the liberty of those who do not have mental capacity to make decisions about their care. For the sector, this represents a significant shift in practice and requires both awareness and change for both individuals and organisations, as part of this journey to implementation. This webinar recording outlines the key changes under LPS, the journey and progress to date and how SCIE will be working with the sector to support this transition. (Edited publisher abstract)

This film uses two examples to illustrate how restraint can be minimised. The first example describes the experience of Peter, who is living in a care home and has a urinary tract infection. A common side effect of such infections is confusion, which is made worse by Peter's Alzheimer's disease. The second story is about Florence, a lady in her 80's who had developed a chest infection and had been admitted to hospital suffering delirium. Key messages for practice are: sometimes it is necessary to apply restraint in the person's best interests; the need for restraint has to be reassessed on each and every occasion as people's needs and capacity change; using a person-centred approach and understanding a person's life story is vital; and talking with colleagues, carers families and people who use services can help to minimise restraint.
