  12. Who Needs Training? All managers, professionals and practitioners working in mental health services, including professionally qualified and non-professionally qualified staff, third sector staff, who may be working in a variety of roles, for example as managers, as team leaders or in front-line services. 12

  13. CSIP/NIMHE recommends 4 levels (or types) of training 1. Those clinicians and practitioners who have specific duties and responsibilities in respect of the current legislation: • Approved Social Workers • Responsible Medical Officers • Section 12 Doctors  2. The training will have to address the development needs for the transition from existing roles to new roles and associated new responsibilities 13

  14. CSIP/NIMHE recommends 4 levels (or types) of training (cont) 3. The wider mental health workforce who provide mental health services to patients subject to compulsion.4. The workforce who are not specialist mental health service providers, but who have inter-related involvement with patients for whom compulsion is an issue e.g. Accident and Emergency, Police, third sector providers etc.The training should be designed to support competent practice within the revised legislation framework for mental health. 14

  15. Transitional Training Transitional arrangements have been specified within the legislation and supporting directions and regulation for existing mental health professionals:ASW to AMHP: existing ASWs will transfer to AMHPs and will be approved in accordance with their existing approval / re-approval time scales as ASWs. Once this date is reached they will have to be re-approved as AMHPs within the agreed time scales. All existing ASWs should access training in readiness to undertake their statutory responsibilities as AMHPs in accordance with the Mental Health Act 2007 15

  16. Transitional Training (cont) Existing ASWs already have a framework for refresher training which examines case law and practice updates, (Draft Regulations/ have stipulated a minimum of 18 hours per year for AMHPs). It is recommended that two days of the refresher training is used as transitional training. The time frame for this training is critical in order to avoid a delay in training and preparation for lawful practice. It is important to ensure that all ASWs are trained in the new legislation prior to implementation. 16

  17. ASW Transitional Training Specialist Training Module (AMHP) All ASWs have access to specialist training materials provided by CSIP. This will be available in a variety of formats including E Learning and work based. This training is designed to underpin any training procured by individual organisations and provide an ongoing reference for practitioners. This training is not mandatory but is recommended as best practice in order to prepare this group of professionals to carry out their legal responsibilities. 17

  18. RMO to Responsible Clinician All existing RMOs will transfer to Approved Clinicians following the introduction of the Act. Existing RMOs will be approved for a period of three years in accordance with the regulations. Recommendation All RMOs should attend a one day workshop. The workshop will be on the MH Act 2007 and consideration should be given to joint training with ASWs. In the interests of capacity and financial resources, and to take advantage of joint training opportunities to improve practice, we would recommend that transition training for RMOs is incorporated with ASW transition training. Time frame: Attend 1 day training workshop by end of September 2008 18

  19. Specialist Training Module (RMO transition to AC) All RMOs will have access to specialist training materials provided by CSIP/NIMHE. This will be available in a variety of formats including e-learning and work based. This has utility for immediate training and for ongoing training and reference purposes. Time frame: Available by May 2008 19

  20. Section 12 Doctors The role and responsibilities of Section 12 doctors remains unchanged in the main. However, Section 12 doctors will need to have a clear understanding of the changes introduced by the Mental Health Act 2007. Recommendation All Section 12 doctors have access to specialist training materials provided by CSIP. This will be available in a variety of formats including e-learning and work-based learning. 20

  21. Mental Health Act Administrators MH Act administrators will need to have a clear understanding of the impact of the Act upon their roles and responsibilities. There will be a need to ensure that this professional group have access to appropriate training and supportive materials. Recommendation Attendance at one day training; Mental Health Act Administrators Workbook, to be provided by CSIP to support the ongoing needs of this significant staff group. 21

  22. Hospital Managers and Trust non-Executives This group will need to be aware of the changes within the legislation and any new responsibilities. Recommendation Attendance at one day training: To be delivered regionally Mental Health Hospital Managers and Non exec Specialist Module: This will be available in a variety of formats including E Learning and work based CSIP. Issues: Ensure that this training is in place within a suitable time frame. This is new training and additional training 22

  23. Other non-specialist Mental Health Workers and Health and Social Care workers in universal care settings Individuals working in mental health services who need a working knowledge and understanding of the MH Act 2007, this will include non-mental health specialist managers, social workers, nursing staff in certain settings, General Practitioners and residential care staff. It is also important to recognise that there are other multi agency groups of staff who will require a basic awareness of the changes. This will include police, ambulance housing and third sector providers Recommendation Basic Awareness module for non mental health specialist practitioners, available in various formats. Issues: Consistent mechanisms to ensure awareness of training need, access and record keeping of training completed are needed. Training Department responsibilities vary between organisations (training planning, PDP, appraisals). 23

  24. Refresher Training AMHPs: Refresher training for ASWs is established in accordance with the Regulations. Refresher training already exists for ASWs and this should continue merely transferring to AMHP refresher training. 24

  25. Refresher Training (cont) Approved Clinicians: Those RMOs transferred to ACs at the time of implementation will have to be formally re-approved after three years. New ACs will be approved for a period of five years. This group of professionals will be required to demonstrate possession of relevant competencies. As with existing models of refresher training, we would recommend that this group have access to training during the period of re-approval. This training should be provided by commissioned training from the SHAs and could be interlinked with Section 12 doctor trainings. Section 12 doctors are also required to undergo refresher training prior to re-approval. 25

  26. General Practitioners and Primary Care Staff An e-learning module being developed with BMJ (learning) endorsed by the RCGP with a hard copy workbook. 26
