Summary
The Best Interests Assessor - Deprivation of Liberties Safeguards (BIADOLS) course qualifies you to assess people in situations, such as residential care or hospital, where their liberty may be in question, as well as their mental capacity to make decisions for themselves. Demand for this qualification has grown, following recent changes in the law. The BIA role involves significant legal and ethical considerations; reflected in the course teaching and assessments.
The course gives you the chance to update your skills in practice interventions, and deepen your knowledge base about current research and policy in contemporary practice. It is linked to your professional requirement as a social worker to provide evidence of Continuing Professional Development (CPD), as part of your continued registration with the Health and Care Professions Council.

Entry requirements | To be eligible for this course, you will need a professional qualification as either a social worker, registered nurse, occupational therapist or chartered psychologist. You will also need some experience as a practitioner, and knowledge of mental capacity and human rights legislation. You must find a mentor with experience of the Best Interests Assessor role, who can offer you support while you are training. You must fund the mentor’s costs yourself. You will also need to find a registered care home or hospital for you to undertake three one-hour observations. These should take place after you have started the course, and before you submit your portfolio for assessment. You should also try to identify an opportunity to shadow a Best Interest Assessor undertaking an assessment, or part of an assessment - either before or after the course. This shadowing experience will improve your understanding of the BIADOLS role. |
