| The Mental Health (Care & Treatment) (Scotland) Act 2003 will come into force in October 2005. This website is the Mental Welfare Commission's guide to the Scottish Executive's new Mental Health Act forms. There is also a paper guide that accompanies it which only contains a few of the key sections available on this website.
This website is not an e-learning course, and you won't be asked to take any formal assessments. You can use the material, however, as an education resource, and it gives you: |
 |
- Information on the Act and its related Code of Practice
- A portal to other relevant sources that will help you better understand the effect the Act will have on your practice
The navigation menu is on the left-hand side of this screen and enables the user to navigate to 7 sections of the application which are:
Both the website and paper guide should be used as an educational resource; the content should not be used to inform legal decision making. You should keep in mind that these forms are not yet finalised. Should you require accurate, up-to-date information or for downloading the most recent up to date forms, then please contact the Scottish Executive.
