When a request for an urgent or standard authorisation from a care home or a hospital is made for a person to be deprived of their liberty, an IMCA may be instructed to:
• Represent people who are being assessed for an authorisation, or where a best interests assessor has been asked to assess whether there is an unlawful deprivation of liberty (Section 39A)
And may be asked to:
• Stand in as a person’s representative for people who are subject to an authorisation when no other representative is available (Section 39C)
• Support a person subject to an authorisation and/or their representative when instructed to do so by a supervisory body, at the request of the person or their representative (Section 39D)
Referrals for our IMHA DoLS service can only be made by the supervisory body.
