What this helps with

This interactive AGNI scenario tool helps practitioners apply structured deprivation of liberty reasoning to realistic practice situations.

Choose one of three scenarios, then work through the AGNI practice triangle: what is actually happening, how the arrangements land on the person, and what legal or practice response may be needed.

The tool supports evidence-led analysis, supervision discussion, safeguarding reflection, MCA decision-making and clearer recording of uncertainty, restrictions, impact and next steps.

Useful for

MCA practice, deprivation of liberty, case supervision, safeguarding, Article 5 analysis, legal literacy, team discussion
