Abstract
This article examines the Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS), specifically in regards to how they relate to individuals with a neurodisability. The DoLS and their operation are described before looking at how they operate in practice by describing two specific assessments. It then looks at some of the authorisations estimated by the Department of Health before examining some of the criticisms of the Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards.
