Mental Health issues affect one in four people. That means it is likely that you know someone, or have been affected personally by mental health problems.
Our team at Chilcotts Law are able to advise you in a sensitive and compassionate way to explain your rights in this field. We hold the Law Society’s Mental Health Tribunal Panel accreditation and have many years’ experience in representing those detained in hospital, as well as advising nearest relatives about their rights under the Mental Health Act. This includes;
- Challenging detention for both civil and forensic patients;
- Access to records;
- Making complaints;
- Consent to treatment;
- Human Rights issues;
- Obtaining suitable aftercare packages.
Often, Mental Health Law intertwines with other areas of Law, such as Mental Capacity, Community Care or Human Rights. Having a wealth of expertise and knowledge in all of these areas, ensures that you will get the best possible advice and assistance.
