Rights in Mind

This pathway is designed to help staff in mental health services ensure that patients have their human rights respected at key points in their treatment.

Download our Rights in Mind booklet

Our Rights in Mind booklet features an illustrated pathway of a patient's journey through inpatient care, and provides a list of human and legal rights at each key stage in their care and treatment.

This booklet is designed for staff, but may also be of use to patients and friends and family.

Our good practice guide explains how and where human rights impact on mental health care delivery, and how staff can best ensure that the key rights are respected and promoted. It is intended to be both a reference guide and an improvement resource.

In addition to our films, we also have a number of written transcripts of our interviews with ex-patients, carers and professionals. We hope to add more of these in the coming months.
