Wednesday 10th September 1pm-1.45pm.

Ahead of our autumn 2025 course on 'Embedding Human Rights Legal Duties in Mental Health Inpatient Care', this taster course will:

• Give a quick overview of the Human Rights Act
• Share stories of human rights change in mental health settings
• Explain the aims of this training, how organisations can apply, and answer any questions

Already interested in applying to this open course for your organisation? You can send us a booking enquiry via the course page linked below. We are taking bookings until 1pm on Wednesday 17th September. There is a limited number of spaces on the course, and bookings are made on a first-come, first-served basis. If we reach the maximum number of participants we may close bookings early.

Please note that this course is aimed at senior mental health practitioners working with the Mental Health Act, the main piece of legislation covering the assessment, treatment and rights of people experiencing mental distress in England and Wales. This includes staff working in NHS mental health trusts across England and Wales (Band 7 or above) and we will consider applications from equivalent roles in local authority mental health teams and in independent mental health inpatient services.

This is not open to individuals paying for themselves. Bookings must be made by the organisation who can put forward suitable candidate(s) – this is because we believe that to achieve meaningful practice change there needs to be a commitment to a human rights-based approach from the wider organisation.
