1. lack of protocol for safeguarding individuals awaiting Mental Health Act assessments
“Expert evidence was received from a Consultant [name redacted] who indicated that there is no protocol in place which governs what steps should be taken to safeguard people who are awaiting Mental Health Act assessments and may be alone and at risk in the community whilst the assessment is set up.”
