In preparation for a proposal to the National Institute for Health and Care Research to evaluate experiences and outcomes of adult mental health social care assessments in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, we are attempting to comprehensively map the models or approaches used in assessments. This information will inform future research, but is valuable in its own right as such a mapping exercise has not been conducted.

To ensure we are able to create a complete picture, requests for this information have been sent to all public authorities responsible for the provision of adult mental health social care assessments. We may create a visualisation of this information which may identify which approaches are used in different places in the devolved nations.
If your organisation would like to receive a copy of the final report detailing the models or approaches used in adult mental health social care assessments in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, please include contact details for the relevant person or team with your response.
Similarly, please indicate on the form if you are interested in participating in possible future research on the experience and outcomes of adult mental health social care assessments in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
