Documentation

Description:
The Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS) data collection gathers information on all DoLS applications in England on an annual basis. Data are collected at individual case level to afford greater flexibility of analysis across variables such as location and demographics. Information collected in the return will provide an estimate of the number of individuals subject to a DoLS authorisation as well as the number of active DoLS cases in England for the 2020-21 reporting year. A case is defined as active from the moment the DoLS request is received by the council.
