South London & Maudsley Patient & Carer Race Equality Framework (PCREF)

We’re excited to be working with communities and South London & Maudsley’s Mental Health Trust. Over the coming months we will work with the PCREF team in Lewisham to develop their change idea which aims to support efforts to reduce the proportion of Black people who are detained under the Mental Health Act and to reduce the use of restraint and other restrictive practices which cause physical and emotional harm.

Starting in May 2024 and concluding in December 2024, the co-design process will harness diverse perspectives and experiences Our focus is on engaging individuals with lived expertise of the mental health system, alongside their carers, health and social care practitioners to create a dynamic learning program designed to enhance the workforce’s capacity to operate in an anti-oppressive manner and with cultural humility.
