Reports on the findings of a project which collects data continuously about individuals assessed within the framework of the 1983 Mental Health Act, with a view to their detention in psychiatric hospital. Data is included from five Local Authorities for the years 1990, 1991, 1992 and 1993, collected by Approved Social Workers who have a key role in assessing the social circumstances and making appropriate application for detention under the Act. The focus of this paper is the differences between men and women in the application of the Act. Some key differences are identified, which are compared with earlier research. Implications for policy and practice are reviewed.

Approved Social Workers from seven local authorities were interviewed about Mental Health Act assessments involving parents. Half of all the children in these families were under eight years old, and in forty percent of cases there was concern about the children's safety. Those children perceived most at risk or in need of alternative care arrangements tended to be children on lone parents, ethnic minority parents, parents who misused drugs or alcohol, or parents who were themselves abused as children. The authors conclude that joint approaches with child care colleagues are essential in assessing the risks and needs of children identified through mental health crisis in a parent.

The direction of policy for adults with continuing care needs over the past decade has resulted in a marked shift from hospital to community provision. This shift has been accompanied by an increasing emphasis on non-institutional care, i.e. care in the person's home as a priority. The principle source of care for older people therefore becomes the immediate family. Looks at the service needs of informal carers of older people with dementia.
