Multi-Agency Review Framework at http://www.revolving-doors.co.uk
A ' Do-It-Yourself' tool for measuring the effectiveness of local multi-agency
arrangements for people with mental health needs and in contact with the
criminal justice system.
Developed by The Revolving Doors Agency - funded by the Home Office.
The Multi-Agency Review Framework is a tool for use by local agencies
to assess how well multi-agency arrangements in the community for people
with mental health problems in contact with the criminal justice system
are working in their local area.
It is designed to be easy to use for practitioners. It has been piloted
in four local areas and has proved a practical tool, which provides a
kick-start for a local multi-agency action plan.
This document forms part of the implementation programme for the National
Service Framework for Mental Health.
