Request police help with a Mental Health Act Assessment

Do you have reason to believe someone is in imminent risk of endangering themselves or others or do you have an immediate concern for their welfare? Call 999 now.

We're now using the Right Care Right Person model. This means we're working with partners to ensure people get the right support from the right service.

We're unlikely to respond to health-related incidents unless:

• there is a real and immediate risk of death, or

• there is a real and immediate risk of harm

Police are unlikely to respond to incidents unless one of the core policing duties are met, or there is a threat to a person’s human rights under Article 2 or Article 3 of the European Convention of Human Rights. For more information on the police’s responsibility under ECHR, please read the Legal overview for RCRP on the College of Policing website.

Please note: When you submit a form, we have not accepted responsibility for that request. We take time to assess every report. We have not assumed a duty of care until we have agreed to accept the request.
