Mental health act code of practice
| Юридический глоссарий по психическому здоровью |
This tells health professionals how they should follow the mental health act. it is not law, so it cannot be enforced by going to court, but health professionals should follow it unless there is a good reason not to. the code covers some areas not specifically mentioned in the mental health act, such as visiting rights and the use of seclusion. if a health professional doesn’t follow the code, you can make a complaint.
