We've been sent details of a research project - details below if you would like to read more and get involved.
The main aim of the project is to improve current practices surrounding the identification of mental health problems for people in contact with the police, through increasing access to timely and appropriate referral to mental health professionals .
The project focuses on the gap in police access to mental health services on the evenings and weekends when there is a high turnover of people through custody. The project is a collaboration between the Offender Health Research Network, University of Manchester and LancashireCare NHS Foundation Trust.
If interested, you are welcome to participate in the following ways;
1. Interview (1 x 1 hour) (May 2011 - Jan 2012)
2. Consultation Questionnaires (approx 4) (Nov 2011 - Dec 2012) A £10 mobile top up for participation in the interview and a £20 mobile top up for completion of each questionnaire will be provided. (Argos vouchers are available for participants who don’t have a mobile phone).
Meetings can be arranged in your local area at your convenience.
