When working with a person who is suspected of having committed an offence but who also has mental health problems, all operational staff should know how to access mental health assessments and should have clear routes for referral and escalation of requests for urgent psychiatric evaluation, including during out of hours. CCG and provider agencies should ensure that sufficient services are available to meet needs including out of hours.
