MAPPA AND MENTAL HEALTH: Current Issues and Practice Challenges
To take place at:
Royal Academy of Engineering - 3 Carlton House Terrace, London, SW1Y 5DG (just off Pall Mall)
This national training event will address key issues facing practitioners working with mentally disordered offenders within the context of MAPPA, including the challenge of providing effective public protection, treatment and support in relation to persons who may pose danger to others as well as being vulnerable themselves. A central theme of the day is MAPPA's increasingly significant role within the cross-roads of criminal justice and mental health policy and practice.
