Bookings for this taster session are now closed.
You can still send us an enquiry about this course via the course page linked below. We are taking bookings until 5pm on Wednesday 5 February. There is a limited number of spaces on the course, and bookings are made on a first-come, first-served basis. If we reach the maximum number of participants we may close bookings early.
Please note that this course is aimed at senior mental health practitioners working with the Mental Health Act, the main piece of legislation covering the assessment, treatment and rights of people experiencing mental distress in England and Wales. This includes staff working in NHS mental health trusts across England and Wales (Band 7 or above) and we will consider applications from equivalent roles in local authority mental health teams and in independent mental health inpatient services.
This is not open to individuals paying for themselves. Bookings must be made by the organisation who can put forward suitable candidate(s) – this is because we believe that to achieve meaningful practice change there needs to be a commitment to a human rights-based approach from the wider organisation.
