This briefing note is designed for police officers and staff when developing joint protocols with partner agencies to govern the response to people with mental ill health or learning disabilities. Multi-agency protocols help to ensure effective referrals and improved service delivery; they also contribute to the appropriate and efficient use of police resources and that of other agencies. Multi-agency protocols between the police and other agencies may need to cover situations that arise in a criminal justice capacity – where the person with mental ill health or learning disability is a victim of crime, a witness to crime or suspected of or known to have committed a crime. Also, situations arising in a health care capacity where police may be: acting in support of healthcare agencies dealing with someone experiencing a mental health crisis; supporting a person experiencing mental ill health until healthcare professionals are involved; responding to families and carers of people with mental ill health or learning disabilities who have concerns about them; and responding to members of the public seeking a service from the police in relation to suspected mental ill health or learning disabilities on the part of an individual.

This toolkit for senior social services professionals provides guidance and practice examples on inclusion strategies of people furthest from the labour market. These include the long-term unemployed, people with disabilities, young people, migrants and refugees, homeless people, people with mental illness or single parents. It is based on the findings from a literature review and a questionnaire focus group discussion from members of the Social European Network. Drawing on an analysis of the literature, a questionnaire and seminar discussion with members of the Social European Network, the toolkit covers three key areas of guidance when designing inclusive activation policy and practice. These are: coordination between services - which could involve care coordinators, On-stop-shops or public-private partnerships; availability and adequacy of resources; and designing pathways to inclusion for specific groups who are not immediately employable and need tailored support to integrate in the labour market. These populations include the long-term unemployed, people with disabilities, young people, migrants and refugees, homeless people or people suffering from mental illness, and single parents with caring duties. Practice examples include the Disability and vulnerable people employment strategy implemented in Gloucestershire County Council in the United Kingdom. (Edited publisher abstract)
