This workbook, produced by the National Institute for Mental Health England (NIMHE), forms part of training materials produced to support the implementation of the 2007 Mental Health Act (MHA). These are intended to increase awareness of the new legislation and to be used as a tool to improve practice. The training material is aimed primarily for those working under the framework of the 1983 Mental Health Act in the statutory, volunteer and independent sectors. Focus is on changes introduced by the MHA and related provisions of the Code of Practice. The workbook includes several modules: one that provides an overview of MHA changes; one that covers the guiding principles; and four key change modules that cover in more detail all nine key changes to the MHA. The design of the workbook enables both trainers and participants to undertake the modules most relevant to their situation. A series of practical exercises are provided in the workbook.
