RCRP has had the effect of police only attending community MHAAs with a S135.1 warrant in place! I’m sure if you investigate the amount of S.135 warrants that have been applied for since RCRP was inaugurated, you’ll find a reduction in police presence in A&E Depts with a resultant escalation in Warrant applications by AMHPS. RCRP has been a disaster in terms of police support for community MHAAs. Also, due to the lack of planning by health services, police have been forced to just drop vulnerable adults in A&E without using S136 powers as they just can’t afford to be detained for hours in A&E Depts. No contingency plans in terms of security provision in A&E Depts by Health Managers!

The polarity of social work convictions exemplified by Neil Sanyal and Tahin. If only we had competent and interested leaders who could help us navigate to common ground.

Hang on, don’t have the data but know there have been a “shocking number of deaths”. How? What’s the correlation between one incident and RCRP coming in within weeks? Had he also contacted mental health services? If so what was their response to him? We as AMHPs, as mental health workers, as social workers need to own our responsibility in our over reliance on use of police as a default. There we are telling the public that people with mental illness are no more violent then them but in our own sphere of work seek police assistance as routine. Why? Austerity, poor service design, rock bottom staff morale, lack of beds and the rest all contribute to the neglect of mentally ill people, their families and their friends as does our blase attitude towards neighbours and communities coping with the consequences. We too are culpable for why the police have decided to narrow their reasons for responding. Start with that. If we are serious about sorting out the mess that is.

Two things. This review has completely left out the shocking number of deaths that have occurred since RCRP came in. I don't have the data because I think that the authorities don't want to publish them, as it is dynamite for the public to find out. Their trust in the police has reached rock bottom through decades of institutional racism, and sexually assualtative murderers like Wayne Couzens. Within weeks of RCRP coming in one area, a man rang the poice desperate for help as he knew he could act dangerously due to a mental health crisis. The police quoted RCRP, refused to respond, and an hour later, the man had killed himself and three members of his family. This has not been an isolated incident. Secondly, after 14 years of disastrous austerity cuts, including over £40 billion from local authorities, and over 3,000 inpatient beds cut, there is no money in the NHS or LAs to fund practical support for AMHPs or other MH service staff to do their riskiest work such as MHA assessments. The police knew this but withdrew anyway. The disgusting Tory government watched and didn't care what happened. Now they've been voted out and will never face the consequences

I was attacked whilst lone working completing a MHA assessment a couple of years ago in the early hours out whilst out working alone in the community. This attack ended my social work career. My union rep advised I should take my case to court over lack of duty of care for out of hours worker. The unions solicitors refused to take my case. They stated that the LA could not for see that I would be attacked. I had to agree an agreement of joint resignation and take my private pension. My concern was aimed at the lone working policy out of hours and how this places AMHP’s at unacceptable risk in my humble opinion.

Well maybe AMHPs should have spoken up years ago about abuse of police services by NHS MH services.

No one seemingly gave enough of a damn about how abusive of vulnerable ppl this has been. The trauma left real scars. The risks escalated.

Very angry and too often very violent police attendances means those who need earlier intervention arent now coming forward.
Neither are families. Because guess who is left with this mess? Family dont get to clock off go home get rest.

Try being in the Met area .
The most violent mysogenist racist force in the country.
And they were relied on to keep vulnerable ppl safe.

AMHPs were complicit.
Now they rightfully feel at risk.
What did they think their collective silence would result in?

Police should be involved in Mental health assessment where necessary they have more safety equipment and clothing. Ie body armour where doctors and amp.have a pen and a piece of paper. Police are crucial in some cases in the presentation of harm to the individual concerned and the other people involved, including family members. I speak from a 40 year career in social care.

Using the Police to the degree that has become common place has helped hide the degree of under resourcing of social care. It is right that the Police step back from a responsibility which is beyond their remit. It is not helpful that the situation developed in the first place, or that it is being reversed at such a pace, but it should be reversed. The impact on services and individuals could be catastrophic.

I know most social workers think all AMHPs ever do is practice ever more ingenious ways to avoid accepting referrals let alone actually organise and conduct MHA assessments but to accuse them of seeing the police as the service that should do the work they themselves should be doing is stretching it a bit. That said “there’s no police availability” is a stock phrase so perhaps there’s something in this after all. And yes I am an AMHP but perhaps not a very on message one.

Vindication for those of us who never bought into the use of police as a default standby. Bit late now to complain that police aren’t any longer responding because we don’t really know who we are assessing. Taking police for granted that they will plug the gaps in our services and be an alternative safe space was always going to bite us eventually. Had this discussion practically every opportunity I git in the past 4 years with our AMPH lead but as ever went nowhere. So now we’re are somewhere called now.
