Standards for mental health inpatient services
This guidance sets out the culture of care everyone wants to experience in mental health inpatient settings, including people who use services, families, carers and staff, and supports providers to realise this. The standards apply to all NHS-funded mental health inpatient service types, including those for people with a learning disability and autistic people, as well as specialised mental health inpatient services, such as mother and baby units, secure services, and children and young people’s mental health inpatient services.
