 Welcome to this presentation on the Welsh Government's consultation on the Regulations for Wales on the Liberty Protection Safeguards, or the LPS. There are two parts to this presentation. The first part shares the details of the consultation, the context, the timetable, the resources and the planned engagement. The second part will give you an introduction and key information on each of the four pieces of draft regulations for Wales. Context. The UK Government is bringing in a new law, the Mental Capacity Amendment Act 2019. The law will change the Mental Capacity Act 2005. This will mean that the deprivation of Liberty safeguards, the Dolls scheme will stop and will be replaced by the LPS. There will be a period of parallel running as those under existing Dolls arrangements transition to the LPS at appropriate times. For example, in line with their existing planned review arrangements or where there is a change in their circumstance which indicates a review is required. All new applicants will be considered under the LPS. The Liberty Protection Safeguards or the LPS. The LPS protects the rights and freedoms of people who lack mental capacity. Where someone's care, support or treatment amounts to a deprivation of Liberty and the cared for person lacks the mental capacity to agree to those arrangements, then the arrangements must be authorised. The LPS are there to protect Article 5 Human Rights, the right to Liberty. A person cannot be deprived of their Liberty without a procedure in place prescribed by law. As part of the LPS, for those people who lack mental capacity to consent to such deprivation arrangements, health boards or local authorities as responsible bodies will need to demonstrate those statutory procedures are properly discharged. There are a number of fundamental differences between the LPS and the current Dolls. The LPS will apply to adults and also to young people aged 16 and 17. The LPS will apply in hospitals and registered care settings and in many other places including people's own homes. A key point. The changes from the Dolls to the LPS will apply to England and Wales and be supported by a revised code of practice. However, Wales will have its own new laws about how to put the change into practice. It is these new laws, the draft regulations for Wales that have been published for consultation. How can you have your say on the LPS regulations for Wales? The Welsh Government is consulting on how to put the LPS draft regulations for Wales into practice. Separately, the UK Government is consulting on draft regulations for England and the draft code of practice for England and Wales. Stakeholders in Wales will therefore also need to respond to the UK Government consultation on the draft code of practice for England and Wales. The Welsh Government consultation timetable. The Welsh Government consultation launched on 17 March 2022 and will last for 16 weeks. The closing date for responses is 7 July 2022. The UK Government's consultation on draft regulations for England and the draft code of practice for England and Wales will also last for 16 weeks. And has the same closing date for responses which is 7 July 2022. Our LPS consultation can be found on the Welsh Government website here. Additional consultation resources.

The films are around two minutes long each and designed to be easily shared over social media. FAQs documents. We have developed a frequently asked questions document FAQs document and have published this on the LPS consultation web pages.

These include reconvening the LPS Implementation Steering Group for Wales and the LPS Subgroups Meetings, which focus on workforce and training, monitoring and reporting, the transition from the dolls to the LPS and the 16 and 17 year olds.
