A free, CPD-accredited online session on Wednesday 21 October, with a free briefing for care providers on what the Supreme Court's June judgment means for Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards.
Since the Supreme Court's judgment on 2 June 2026, registered managers have been asking the same questions. Who still needs a DoLS? What happens to existing authorisations? What will CQC expect to see?
The judgment replaced the "acid test" that has applied since the 2014 Cheshire West case. Whether someone is deprived of their liberty now depends on a range of factors taken together, and a person who lacks capacity can still give valid consent to their care arrangements.
Free online session: The Care Sector Call, DoLS Special
Wednesday 21 October, from 12:30pm, online. Free and CPD-accredited.
CoProduce Care is bringing together:
- Alex Ruck Keene KC (Hon)
- Ben Troke, Weightmans

- A representative from Learning Disability England
You'll hear the law, the local authority view and what it means day to day. You can put your own questions to the speakers, and you'll leave with a CPD certificate.
