What this helps with
This interactive AGNI practice triangle guide supports practitioners, supervisors and teams to build consistency in deprivation of liberty decision-making.
Users rank six case examples on a deprivation of liberty scale, then use prompt questions to test whether their reasoning is evidence-led. The activity then works through three key areas: actual arrangements and restrictions, impact on the person, and safeguard route or escalation.
It is especially useful for supervision, team discussion, MCA practice development and benchmarking professional judgement after AGNI.
Useful for
