This workbook aims to ensure that people have a clear understanding of the changes the Mental Health Act 2007 (MHA 2007) has brought to the MHA 1983. The MHA 2007 has changed the MHA 1983 in a number of important ways but has left unchanged the central role of hospital managers in the operation of the MHA. In particular, it retains the power for hospital managers, through their managers’ panels, to decide whether patients should continue to be detained. This workbook is aimed at those who sit on managers’ panels to help them understand the changes that will affect their role and the way they carry it out. The workbook aims to ensure understanding of the key elements of supervised community treatment and the different elements that managers’ panels need to consider when reviewing patient applications, extensions and barring orders. It explains the 5 guiding principles in chapter 1 of the revised Code of Practice, and also the 9 key changes in terms of the responsibilities of hospital managers and especially managers’ panels’ power of discharge. These key changes cover: the definition of mental disorder; criteria for detention; age appropriate services; professional groups; nearest relative; advocacy services; ECT (safeguards); supervised community treatment; and referrals to tribunal.

It also provides evidence that managers are providing appropriate induction training. It encourages career development by providing an early opportunity to gain a certificate and enter the progression route into other accredited qualifications in the mental health sector such as S/NVQs and the Level 3 Certificate in Community Mental Health Care. This award is accredited as a Vocationally Related Qualification at level 2 of the national qualifications framework in England, Northern Ireland and Wales which means it’s been accredited by the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority (QCA) and is recognised by employers. In England and Wales the award will enable managers and care-workers to match learning from the award to the relevant induction and foundation requirements of TOPSS England and the Care Council for Wales/Cyngor Gofal Cymru.
