Changes to service due to COVID-19
We are responding to official advice to protect the health and wellbeing of staff and the community, and to limit the spread of the COVID-19 coronavirus.
We have had to make some changes to how we provide non legal advocacy services to people subject to or at risk of being placed on a compulsory treatment order.
As of the 19 of March 2020, we may no longer be attending mental health units but we will be continuing to provide services mostly by phone.
