This report provides the key findings from the Mental Capacity Act 2005, Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS) data collection for the period 1 April 2013 to 31 March 2014. A Deprivation of Liberty (DoL) refers to a restriction of an individual’s freedom such as physical restraint or constant supervision. The DoLS are a set of legal requirements which ensure that individuals are only deprived of their liberty in a necessary and proportionate way and provide protection for individuals once a DoL has been authorised. The report shows that during 2013-14 in England, 13,000 DoLS applications were completed and this reflects a 10 per cent increase compared to the previous reporting year. Of the applications completed in 2013-14, 59 per cent (7,600 applications) were granted and overall, this percentage has increased since the legislation came into force. A total of 8,500 authorised deprivations of liberty were active during 2013-14, of which 5,800 completed during the period. The majority (70 per cent) of the completed authorisations were in place for less than 3 months. (Edited publisher abstract)

This report summarises the key findings and an analysis of the 2014-15 data on the use of Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS) in Wales. The data is collected from the supervisory bodies, made up of 22 local authorities and 7 local health boards in Wales. Information is also taken from notifications received from care homes in their role as managing authorities. The report reflects an unprecedented level of DoLS activity following the Cheshire West Supreme Court ruling. The number of applications for the Safeguards saw a 16-fold increase on the previous year, from 631 applications in 2013-14, to 10,679 applications being made during the period April 2014 to March 2015. This increase varied considerably across supervisory bodies, including local health boards, but each organisation experienced at least a six-fold increase. The report shows that the significant increase in volume appears to have led to a delay in the processing of assessments and that the length of time that authorisations are in place has increased in general, with 55 per cent of authorisations being valid for a year in 2014-15, compared with only 1 per cent in 2013-14.

Analysis of the proportion of the British adult population experiencing some form of depression in early 2021, by age, sex and other characteristics, including comparisons with 2020 and pre-pandemic estimates. Around 1 in 5 (21%) adults experienced some form of depression in early 2021 (27 January to 7 March); this is an increase since November 2020 (19%) and more than double that observed before the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic (10%). Around 1 in 3 (35%) adults who reported being unable to afford an unexpected expense of £850 experienced depressive symptoms in early 2021, compared with 1 in 5 (21%) adults before the pandemic; for adults who were able to afford this expense, rates increased from 5% to 13%. Over the period 27 January to 7 March 2021: younger adults and women were more likely to experience some form of depression, with over 4 in 10 (43%) women aged 16 to 29 years experiencing depressive symptoms, compared with 26% of men of the same age; disabled (39%) and clinically extremely vulnerable (CEV) adults (31%) were more likely to experience some form of depression than non-disabled (13%) and non-CEV adults (20%); a higher proportion of adults renting their home experienced some form of depression (31%) when compared with adults who own their home outright (13%); almost 3 in 10 (28%) adults living in the most deprived areas of England experienced depressive symptoms; this compares with just under 2 in 10 (17%) adults in the least deprived areas of England.

Indicators from the Opinions and Lifestyle Survey on the social impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic on disabled people in Great Britain. This release uses three waves of survey results covering dates between the 3 to 28 February 2021 and includes indicators broken down by impairment type. In February 2021, among people aged 16 years and over in Great Britain: a larger proportion of disabled people (78%) than non-disabled people (69%), said they were worried (very or somewhat) about the effect that the coronavirus (COVID-19) was having on their life – for disabled people this proportion was lower than in September 2020 (83%); disabled people more often indicated coronavirus had affected their life than non-disabled people in ways such as their health, access to healthcare for non-coronavirus related issues and access to groceries, medication and essentials; feeling stressed or anxious, feeling bored and feeling worried about the future were the well-being concerns most frequently cited by both disabled and non-disabled people; disabled people had on average poorer well-being ratings than non-disabled people across all four well-being measures (life satisfaction, feeling that things done in life are worthwhile, happiness and anxiety); for both disabled and non-disabled people, life satisfaction and happiness ratings were poorer in February 2021 than in September 2020; disabled people tended to be less optimistic than non-disabled people about life returning to normal in the short term; positive sentiment towards the vaccine was high among both disabled and non-disabled people.
