Many people in the criminal justice system have mental health problems, but often do not get the support they need. This summary reports on a project run by London-based charity Revolving Doors, evaluated with a King's Fund grant. The scheme offers practical support to people with mental health and multiple needs who come into contact with the criminal justice system. It helps link individuals to mainstream services and aims to work in the longer term with people with complex needs. This summary provides details of the scheme and offers learning points on issues such as involving service users.

Note of a Social Perspectives Network study day which brought together people active in research which in some way is based on the lived experience of service users, or of groups who have been marginalised or oppressed. The day intended to open up discussion about the different social frameworks which exist, including user-led research. It also aimed to highlight collaborative approaches which can help reclaim the idea that our own life experiences are central to how we carry out research and what we do with it. The workshops looked at participants' own experience of, and views on, being involved in research; and were asked to identify some research issues which SPN might want to see prioritised in future. A strong theme during the day was the way in which user/survivors and activists have been developing different approaches to research - approaches which have at their core the lived experience of people going through mental distress, and which are sensitive to those experiences.
