About

Wolverhampton City Council awarded a contract to The OT Practice and RUN Healthcare for the provision of ad hoc Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS) assessments on an independent basis on behalf of the Supervisory Body.

The contract, valued at £180,000, requires the providers to commission Best Interest Assessors (BIAs) to assess adults aged 18 and above in care homes and hospitals under the Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards Legislation 2009 (Amendment to Mental Capacity Act 2005).

The assessments must identify, challenge, and redress discrimination and inequality, respect individuals' qualities, abilities, and diverse backgrounds, and promote rights, dignity, and self-determination.

The providers must meet contract time-scales and deliver assessments that withstand legal scrutiny.
