C5 WHY THIS REQUEST IS BEING MADE
Place a cross in ONE of the boxes below (A–G) Ø
Boxes A–D relate to people who ARE NOT currently subject to a standard authorisation
A PERSON WHO IS ALREADY ACCOMMODATED HERE BUT IS NOT YET BEING
DEPRIVED OF LIBERTY
The person is already accommodated in this hospital or care home. We are not
depriving them of their liberty. However, during the next 28 calendar days, it is likely
that we will need to do so and that they will meet all of the qualifying requirements
for a standard authorisation.
B PERSON WHO IS ALREADY ACCOMMODATED HERE AND BEING DEPRIVED OF
THEIR LIBERTY
The person is already accommodated in this hospital or care home. They already
appear to meet all of the qualifying requirements for a standard authorisation.
An urgent authorisation has been given pending the outcome of the standard
authorisation assessment process.
C PERSON IS NOT YET ACCOMMODATED HERE BUT WILL NEED TO BE
DEPRIVED OF THEIR LIBERTY HERE DURING THE NEXT 28 DAYS
The person is not yet accommodated in this hospital or care home. However,
during the next 28 days it is likely that they will be admitted and that they will
need to be deprived of their liberty here. It is also likely that they will meet all of
the qualifying requirements for a standard authorisation.
D COURT OF PROTECTION ORDER ABOUT TO EXPIRE
The person is already accommodated in this hospital or care home. We are already
depriving them of their liberty and the Court of Protection has authorised this. However,
given the date on which the court’s order is expected to expire, it would be unreasonable
to delay any longer requesting a standard authorisation.
Boxes E–G relate to people who ARE currently subject to a standard authorisation
E EXISTING AUTHORISATION ABOUT TO EXPIRE: NEW STANDARD AUTHORISATION
REQUIRED
There is already a standard authorisation in force that covers the person’s deprivation
of liberty in this hospital or care home. It is reasonable to request a new standard
authorisation to come into force immediately after the expiry of the existing authorisation.
F CHANGE IN THE PLACE WHERE THE PERSON IS DEPRIVED OF LIBERTY
There is already a standard authorisation in force. However, it does not authorise the
person’s deprivation of liberty in this hospital or care home. We therefore require a new
standard authorisation that authorises their deprivation of liberty here.
