The "new" Mental Health Act 2025 will soon be on the statute books. Are there any AMHP's out there who are confident that it will radically change the delivery of mental health services and in particular will it result in more support for the AMHP role?

Are you a social worker or do you know someone who is? How do you fancy some new legal powers to coerce people, with all the risks and responsibilities which come with that? Lord Davies of Brixton thinks you should have this option which could then be seen as an obligation.
NEW BLOG - "New 136 Amendments" Lord Davies of Brixton proposes that 136 become a power for a long list of professionals, including midwives. Some thoughts from me on this. mentalhealthcop.wordpress.com/2025/01/11/new…
This is different to the post yesterday about 136 amendments. Lord Davies of Brixton has been quite busy and I much more get where he's coming from with this one, albeit some questions and issues still arise.
NEW BLOG - "New 140 Amendments" Lord Davies of Brixton has proposes that section 140 MHA be amended to compel wider notification of hospitals which can urgently admit and clear legal obligation and oversight to admit when necessary. mentalhealthcop.wordpress.com/2025/01/12/new…

New 140 Amendments
I recently posted about proposed amendments to section 136 Mental Health Act 1983 (MHA) made by Lord Davies of Brixton and there seems to be lively debate on social media about the merits and probl…
Mental Health Act - is it's purpose to ensure 'Care and/or Control' - or should it ensure that unwell people are Safeguarded, Cared for and given effective & timely Treatment in a therapeutically sympathetic environment?
NEW BLOG - "Michael Crane" A new PFD means we need to remember s136 MHA is not just about ensuring "control" but also ensuring "care" - not that the PFD expresses itself in such terms but it's worth thinking about as a lesson. mentalhealthcop.wordpress.com/2025/01/08/mic…
A must follow for all M.H.Act followers!

The Mental Health Bill - what does it cover, what does it not cover, and how would the MHA look if it were changed by the Bill: mentalcapacitylawandpolicy.org.uk/mental-health-…
Highlights from the MH Bill '24 in a🧵- Section 3 MHA will change: - Autism and LD will no longer qualify for detention under the provision - Will initially last three months, not six; but is still renewable 3-3-6-12-12, etc. - The new "nominated person" is relevant. 1/
NEW BLOG - "The Mental Health Bill 2024" My reaction to and highly partial summary of the new Bill before Parliament. mentalhealthcop.wordpress.com/2024/11/07/the…
The new Mental Health Bill 2024, introduced to Parliament today - May well be amended during its passage through Parliament - this light reading will be me Wednesday evening light reading and I'll have a blog out tomorrow summarising it. bills.parliament.uk/publications/5…
NEW BLOG - "The 'New' Sections 135-136" This is what the wording of s135-136 MHA will look like if (and only if) the new MH Bill reaches Royal Assent without further amendment of these provisions. mentalhealthcop.wordpress.com/2024/11/07/the…

Have you ever imagined having to be an AMHP trying to get a s135(1) MHA assessment organised? You need various things in place and you need them all at the same time. A short thread - 1/

...seems that there's more things don't happen and are needed than things that are needed and don't happen in the powerless, phantom zone world of human AMHP's who are expected to be invincible....and in the world of "Mental Health Act".....
The answer/review is always to suggest greater levels of restrictions & coercion & use of the #MHA & that lessons be learnt✔️>
"Providers will need to ensure that 'lessons are learnt' from the review, in particular, in relation to discharge planning, risk assessment, patient & family engagement, capacity assessments and the use of the MHA, including CTOs." lexology.com/library/detail…
Reform the Mental Health Act or Implement it more stringently? Or both? - whichever the way to go on this issue there is agreement that there has to be change.... root & branch, culture & structures, policies & procedures, commitment & finances .... theguardian.com/society/articl…
The Govt now wants to take time to reconsider the proposed new Mental Health Act - this is my contribution to the thinking.....
my alternative titles for Mental Health Act:- i) current - "Mentally Disordered Persons (Deprivation of Liberty Arrangements) Act ii) future - "Mentally Unwell Persons (Safeguarding, Care & Treatment Arrangements) Act
