Mental Health Act survey - The Mental Health Alliance, a coalition of organisations of which we are a member, is working together to assess the impact of the Mental Health Act 2007 and to challenge any negative effects of the changes it introduced. We are keen to hear from people who are or have been detained under the Act (sectioned), friends and relatives, mental health professionals, advocates, and anyone else who is in touch with how the Act is working in practice. If this applies to you, please help by completing this brief survey on Mind's website .We shall use the responses to influence policy, practice and the next Government's agenda. The online survey will be live until mid April.
