The Best Interests Assessor (BIA) Practice Handbook stands as a cornerstone of real-world practice, serving as the sole textbook dedicated to the critical role of the BIA. Providing comprehensive and pragmatic guidance on the legal aspects of the role, as well as the principles and practices inherent in working within the Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS) framework, this essential text is indispensable for BIA students and practitioners alike. In this fully revised edition, recent legislative developments, such as the proposed changes from the Liberty Protection Safeguards (LPS), significant case law, and the profound impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on BIA practice, have been meticulously considered. Laden with invaluable advice on delivering effective, person-centered, and rights-driven practice, the handbook encompasses:
• In-depth case studies
• Legal summaries
• Engaging decision-making activities
• CPD support
• Examples of emerging case law in practice
Looking ahead, the book explores the evolving context for practice within the Approved Mental Capacity Professional (AMCP) role under the LPS, envisioning potential roles that BIAs may assume in this new framework in the future.
