MidCentral - Mental Health (Compulsory Assessment and Treatment) Act 1992

This e-Assessment is intended for Mental Health workers.

The course will examine knowledge of the Mental Health Act (1992) and is a mandatory requirement of all new clinical staff.
If Mental Health workers do not understand the provisions of the Act, service users may be treated inappropriately, under-treated or inappropriately detained.  It is important that Mental Health workers are confident that they have the required knowledge, and they have met the required standard of achievement.  Well-designed and well-integrated testing and assessment strategies provide very real benefits to the learner, the trainer and the organisation.

This course is equivalent to one hour of Professional Development
