One of a suite of three resources published as part of the ‘Social Work for Better Mental Health’ initiative, this document provides an overview of the strategic place and importance of social work in mental health services. It highlights the specific skills and knowledge social workers have and how they are ideally placed to support people with mental health problems. The five role categories from The College of Social Work paper ‘The role of the social work in adult mental health’, published in 2014, are referred to throughout to show how they can address strategic challenges and opportunities. Sections discuss the: state of mental health services today; statutory social work; inclusion, rights and citizenship; the role of Approved Mental Health Professionals; prevention and wellbeing across communities; and the importance of getting the organisational context right for social work.

This government response sets out its proposed actions to strengthening the rights and choices of people to live in the community, especially people with learning disabilities, autism or mental health conditions. The proposals balance the need for urgent progress with the need to effect longer term system-wide change by covering three phases: early actions to sustain current momentum; further changes, including proposed legislative changes; and a third phase exploring more radical solutions to longer-term issues. Legislative proposals are put forward where the required change is not possible within the current system, or where stakeholders do not have confidence that existing arrangements will achieve the required changes. The paper also proposes a clear commitment to monitoring and considering further intervention if the necessary improvements are not achieved. (Edited publisher abstract)

This document provides information for Trusts about the Government's intentions for the delivery of personality disorder services within general mental health and forensic settings. All Trusts delivering mental health services need to consider how to meet the needs of patients with a personality disorder who experience significant distress or difficulty as a result of their disorder. Funding will be available to enable Trusts to develop personality disorder services over the next three- year period from 2003- 2006. The purpose of the Guidance is: to assist people with personality disorder who experience significant distress or difficulty to access appropriate clinical care and management from specialist mental health services; to ensure that offenders with a personality disorder receive appropriate care from forensic services and interventions designed both to provide treatment and to address their offending behaviour; and to establish the necessary education and training to equip mental health practitioners to provide effective assessment and management.
