Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards

What to do if you think a person is being deprived of their liberty

If you feel someone is being deprived of their liberty, you should initially discuss your concerns with the managing authority - the care home or hospital. They may be able to change the treatment or care so that the person is not deprived of their liberty.

If you are not satisfied with their response you can contact the supervisory body (Slough Borough Council) to ask for a review. You can contact us by calling 01753 475111 (option 1).
