Police: Mental Health Services
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what the status is of the rollout of the Right Care, Right Person policy in each police force.
- Answer
-
It is a matter for each chief constable to determine how much of the Right Care, Right Person (RCRP) approach they wish to adopt and timing is ultimately an operational matter for each chief constable.
It is recognised best practice for the police to work in close consultation with local partners to understand local issues and gaps, to clarify roles and responsibilities in responding to given incidents and to agree a timeline for implementing the different phases of RCRP in their force area.
In the recent white paper on police reform, From Local to National this government has committed to continue to support the roll out of RCRP to all parts of the country.
