Social Care Interest
Multi-Agency Review Framework at www.revolving-doors.co.uk.htm
A ' Do-It-Yourself' tool for measuring the effectiveness of local
multi-agency arrangements for people with mental health needs and in
contact with the criminal justice system.
Developed by The Revolving Doors Agency - funded by the Home Office.
The Multi-Agency Review Framework is a tool for use by local agencies to
assess how well multi-agency arrangements in the community for people
with mental health problems in contact with the criminal justice system
are working in their local area.
It is designed to be easy to use for practitioners. It has been piloted
in four local areas and has proved a practical tool, which provides a
kick-start for a local multi-agency action plan.
This document forms part of the implementation programme for the
National Service Framework for Mental Health.
