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.

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.
