Door Locking Policy (P54)
The Mental Health Act 1983: Code of Practice (2015) states that if hospitals are to manage entry to and exit from wards effectively they will need to have a Policy for doing so. The aim of this Policy is to ensure that appropriate actions and control measures are in place for staff locking ward/building doors across DCHS, to maintain a consistent approach and to provide clinicians with guidance on the locking of doors as recommended by the Mental Health Act 1983, Code of Practice 2015. This will ensure that the safety of staff and the liberty of patients remains protected at all times.
