This is a reminder that we have produced a practice tool to aid decision making for practitioners in all agencies working with adults with care and support needs in Coventry.
The purpose of the tool is to assist practitioners in assessing the seriousness and the level of risk associated with a safeguarding adult concern.

We are closely monitoring developments associated with the implementation of Liberty Protection Safeguards (LPS) which will provide protection for people aged 16 and above who are, or who need to be, deprived of their liberty in order to enable their care or treatment and who lack the mental capacity to consent to their arrangements.
The Draft Code of Practice is now available and can be accessed online.
If want to know more about the proposed changes, please the guidance issues by the Department of Health and Social Care, or information on the Coventry City Council page.
We recently held a learning event on Liberty Protection Safeguards - What we know so far. Access the video.
We would like to encourage sign-up across all recipient networks to our newsletter so please share this across your teams.
Those interested can sign up.
