Mental Health Act - Code of Practice

The Mental Health Act is the main law that covers the
assessment, treatment and rights of people with a mental
health disorder.
Being detained (also known as sectioned) under the Mental
Health Act means that you are made to stay in hospital for
assessment or treatment.
It is important that you know what happens to you when
you are detained, what your rights are and where you can
get help.
The Mental Health Act Code of Practice tells people and

services how to use this law and what they must do.
Here is a link to some leaflets that explain more about the

law and your rights and choices:
