ICYMI @martinwebber.bsky.social and I have some thoughts on the recent evaluation of Right Care Right Person… there’s still so much we don’t know for sure about the wider impact of this policing policy or how mental health services should be strengthened so that the police are less involved anyway

Check out our blog which is our reflections on the recent evaluation of the policy of Right Care Right Person - still a lack of evidence about impact on mental health and ambulance service especially given the under resourcing of health and social care

Two evaluations have recently been published exploring the impact of Right Care Right Person on the police, health and social care. @lizhughesdd.bsky.social and I have just posted a blog with our thoughts on them - vulnerabilitypolicing.org.uk/whos-job-is-....

Academics often think of ethics as an obstacle. I think of it as a tool to work through the technicalities of fieldwork. Once embraced, it's a fairly straightforward process. Delighted that our PhD student Rosie Martin (@amandalneil.bsky.social) received ethics approval with no request for change.
