Mental Health Accommodation, Support and Human Rights: a practioner's guide

This booklet is about human rights in accommodation based support settings for people with mental health issues. It is aimed at support workers, mental health practitioners and anybody else working in residential settings where mental capacity or mental health is a factor. We use the term ‘practitioner’ throughout to include anyone working in these settings (e.g. qualified and unqualified workers). Lots of information in the booklet may also be useful for people using services, their family, carers or advocates (BIHR has also produced a range of resources aimed at people using mental health services, see www.bihr.org.uk).
