 This module is an introduction to the Mental Health
(Northern Ireland) Order 1986, the legislation governing the care,
treatment and protection of persons with a mental disorder in
Northern Ireland.
It will be of interest to people who use
mental health services and their families, carers and professionals
with duties and responsibilities under the legislation including
general practitioners, health and social care professionals, police
and ambulance personnel.
In this module we consider why we need
mental health legislation, what is contained in the legislation,
the purpose of it, who it applies to and the principles and
additional legislation which inform practice.
