DEPRIVATION OF LIBERTY FORM No. 19
REQUEST FOR A REVIEW BY THE MANAGING AUTHORITY

deprivation of liberty is no longer necessary then they must end it immediately, by adjusting the care regime
or implementing whatever other change is appropriate. The managing authority should then apply to the
supervisory body to review the authorisation.
