Preventing Deaths in Police Care
Tuesday 20 October 2009 - Central London
Capita's 9th National Preventing Deaths in Police Care Conference examines ways to eliminate rare but high profile incidents of death in custody. With the extension of the Corporate Manslaughter Act augmenting police liability, eradicating the risk of death in police care is a major policing and governmental priority.
This timely conference gives delegates the opportunity to build on recent custody improvements, hear expert guidance on preventing harm and ensure custody teams are equipped to effectively assess risk and avoid fatalities. Sessions include:
- An update on the strategy of the new Ministerial Council on Deaths in Custody
- Practical lessons learned from near misses
- Preventative measures to minimise risk of harm
- Key input from the health and legal sectors
- Guidance on the forthcoming custody inspections
Attend this conference to ensure that your organisation is equipped with the necessary skills and understanding to prevent avoidable deaths from occurring in police care.
Capita's half
Safe Detention of People with Mental Health Problems
Wednesday 21 October 2009 - Central London
Capita's half day briefing will equip delegates with innovative approaches to safe detention which take vulnerabilities into account, offer long-term support and deter re-offending.
It is widely acknowledged that police custody is not a suitable place of safety for people with mental health problems. Police and partner agencies must ensure that procedures are in place to safely handle and transfer these individuals to appropriate environments.
Gain confidence in this challenging area of work by hearing ACPO strategy on mental health and custody and learning from practical sessions on police workforce improvement, risk assessment, effective partnership working and health care commissioning.
Attend this event to hear guidance to put your police force at the forefront of good practice in responding to mental health issues in custody.
