Mental Welfare and Disability Rights Advice Line for Professionals

Our mission is to be a leading and independent voice in promoting a society where people with mental illness, learning disabilities, dementia and related conditions are treated fairly, have their rights respected, and have appropriate support to live the life of their choice.

What we can advise on

We can provide information and advice for professionals in relation to rights and good practice to do with:

Mental health and incapacity law
Care and treatment

If we cannot help directly, we can signpost you to other organisations who can.

What we can't advise on

We won't:

Give specific legal advice
Comment on whether diagnosis or medication is correct
Take complaints about services (you need to complain locally; your advocate can help you)

You can contact our Advice Line or office during office hours.

We use a call back system where we take brief details of your query and a contact number. This means our staff can try to look into some background on your query before calling you back.
