Episode Forensic Mental Health: Tom Quilter SC, Dr Andrew Ellis and Callum Hair
Tom Quilter SC, Dr Andrew Ellis, consultant psychiatrist and Callum Hair, solicitor advocate, come together to discuss what happens in the legal system for people who are charged with a serious offence, who have a mental health or cognitive impairment. They examine the Mental Health and Cognitive Impairment Forensic Provisions Act 2020, assessing a person for fitness, and talk about why early collaboration between criminal and civil systems is important for the long-term recovery of the person and community safety as a whole.
