Paid Relevant Person’s Representative (PRPR)

The role of the PRPR is to maintain contact with the relevant person and represent them in all matters relating to the Deprivation of Liberty (DoLS).

DoLS RPRs are appointed where DoLS authorisation has been granted. In most cases an RPR will be a friend or family member, however, where there is no one appropriate to act in this role then a Paid RPR must be appointed.

An PRPR supports a client in all aspects of a DoLS situation and has the right to request it is reviewed at any time or to make applications to the Court of Protection.

PRPR Eligibility Criteria

• The Supervisory body must appoint a PRPR for every person to whom they give a standard authorisation for Deprivation of Liberty.
• Where DoLS is authorised by Camden for a relevant person the CIIAS will provide the PRPR in any area outside of Camden.
• The CIIAS will seek to subcontract local advocacy providers when the relevant person is located outside The Greater London boundary
