Create a Police Code of Practice: Engaging with people with mental health issues

Petition Details

I want the Government to introduce a Police Code of Practice on how police engage with people with a mental health diagnosis, to ensure that there is a framework for how the police should engage with people who have such a diagnosis.

Additional Information

I am extremely passionate about supporting people with mental health issues.

Considering mental health is positively promoted in society more than ever, it seems ludicrous that there is not a Police Code of Practice specifically on engaging with people with a mental health diagnosis.

I had a personal experience which had a significantly negative impact on my life and my mental state of mind. I managed to overcome it but others may not so I want to fight for those people.
