The new draft Code takes account of the changes to relevant legislation since the previous Code was written. Within the draft Code there is strengthened emphasis on: the involvement of patients and, where appropriate, their families and carers in all aspects of assessment and treatment; understanding the principles of the Mental Capacity Act 2005 and how these should apply to all care and treatment; the involvement of Independent Mental Health Advocates; and the use of appropriate transport for patient subject to the Act to ensure their dignity and safety as far as is practicable. There are two other matters of proposed guidance in the draft Code that are not in the existing code. In relation to the timing of assessments both at the police station and elsewhere, the draft Code proposes: that they should be undertaken within 3 hours and that detention in a police station should not exceed a maximum of 12 hours. Secondly, it proposes that a statutory care and treatment plan, if needed, will be started no longer than 72 hours after admission. The consultation closes on 27 November 2015.

The strategy also applies to those who are on the ‘edge’ of care, including: children living in families with intense needs and requiring intensive supports; those returning home from a period in care; those leaving care to make the journey into adult life. It also applies to children leaving care and who are still in need of some support, including those who have been adopted. The Strategy commits the Government to improving the well-being of looked after children across the 8 outcomes in the Children’s Services Co-operation Act (NI) 2015. These eight outcomes include the areas of physical and mental health, education, play and leisure, personal safety, economic and environmental well-being and the ability of children and young people to make a positive contribution to society. The Strategy Implementation Plan includes indicators and measures of success for each of the 8 outcomes. The consultation draft has also been developed with input from key stakeholders across the statutory, voluntary and community sectors and has also involved children and young people in its development. The Strategy is open for consultation, and the consultation period ends on 4 July 2018. (Edited publisher abstract)
