Mind lauches the first mental health toolkit for prosecutors and advocates, providing them with the tools and knowledge needed to ensure access to justice for people with mental health problems.
The new practical guide, funded by the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS), the Law Society Charity and the Bar Council, has been designed to complement the CPS's prosecution guidance on mental health.
Keir Starmer QC, director of public prosecutions, CPS says: "The Mind toolkit will complement the official CPS prosecution guidance on mental health, giving prosecutors practical information, advice, tips and tools. I will be asking all prosecutors and advocates to make full use of the toolkit, both in complementing their training and by referring to it during day-to-day case handling.
