<p>The Mental Capacity (Amendment) Bill introduces a new Liberty Protection Safeguards
model, which will replace the current Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards. The new model
will be set out in a statutory Code of Practice, which will provide guidance to practitioners
and individuals. This will include where a deprivation of liberty does and does not
apply. The Government has committed to initially reviewing the Code within three years
of the new system coming into force and then within five years of any previous review.
These reviews will help inform whether the system is working as intended.</p>
