This workshop focuses on the practical use of Section 135, including application thresholds, planning, execution, and post‑entry decision-making. It explores the AMHP role within multi‑agency working, particularly alongside police colleagues, and considers how legal powers are used proportionately and defensibly in complex situations.
Using practice scenarios and discussion, the session supports AMHPs to strengthen decision-making, evidence legal reasoning, and navigate the interface between mental health law, public protection, and human rights in real-world contexts.
