Section 117 (after-care policy): Joint Policy and Practice Guidance for After-care under S.117 Mental Health Act 1983 (P13)
The purpose of this document is to outline the key information required to provide effective after-care services that reduce the risk of further admissions to inpatient, neurodivergence, or mental health settings, and to ensure that service providers from health, social care, and often the Voluntary, Community, Faith, and Social Enterprise sectors are aware of their legal and ethical responsibilities. This policy exists to ensure that local interpretation of s.117 is lawful, and in line with the practice identified in the associated Mental Health Act Code of Practice (“CoP”) and any legislative amendments.
