The MHCS Open Session is on the Morning of 20th April 2020 in Southern House, East Croydon.
This Open session will focus on “How MHCS risk assess.” In particular, how the Secretary of State makes decisions on applications made by Restricted Patients using risk assessment techniques.
We will also provide a greater understanding of the Secretary of State’s (SofS) functions under the Mental Health Act (MHA) 1983. This is a specialist and broad topic which often proves challenging and the presenter will endeavour to provide you with a greater understanding of particular sections of the Act namely:
Section 37 Hospital Orders, Section 41 Restriction Orders, Section 47/49 and 48/49 Transfers to prison, Section 45A and 45B Hospital directions.
This session will be led by one of our Senior Management Team members.
