About this event
Join Healthwatch City of London for our Patient Panel with the City of London Police. The presentation will inform residents about the Right Care Right Person initiative.
The Right Care, Right Person approach assesses if the police are the most appropriate service to respond.
While some mental health related incidents may need the police, other services may be more appropriate. Health and social care staff have the experience and training to provide the relevant physical and mental health support.
The aim of the approach is:
- to get the person or people involved the right help as soon as possible
- to prevent further distress to the person
- to allow the police to focus resources on preventing crime, protecting life and property and keeping public order
