We understand the challenges mental health providers and commissioners face in navigating the complex and overlapping legal frameworks governing mental health services.
Our specialist, practical advice and 24-hour accessible service support the delivery of safe, quality mental health services and help respond to legal or regulatory incidents, claims, complaints, CQC criticism or ICO action, minimising the impact on patient care, workforce morale, and finances.
The mental health sector is heavily regulated, and subject to constant legal changes and challenges. Timely specialist advice can have a huge impact, and this is where we stand out.
By supporting legal and regulatory compliance and improvement, and responding quickly when something goes wrong, we deliver solutions with significant cost savings. Our understanding of the sector means we’re seen as the first port of call for distress purchases, innovation and business development.
We can assist with issues related to the Mental Health Act, the Mental Capacity Act, deprivation of liberty, safeguarding, and community based care. We provide a specialist training service for health and social care professionals, and we offer a local service to NHS and independent sector providers and commissioners across a national footprint and team.
We also have extensive experience dealing with complex case reviews, serious incident investigations, and complex mental health inquests, Tribunals and Court of Protection proceedings.
