The Faculty of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry is planning a second series of its Mental Health Act Section 12 approval training initiated in 2001 with the support of the Department of Health. One hundred and twenty Faculty members participated in the 2001 training sessions held in London, Cardiff and Preston. The programme is designed to provide full training for approval under the Act by considering the Children Act, Human Rights Act and the Common Law, while ensuring that the consent also meets the needs of child and adolescent psychiatrists. Feedback from participants in 2001 was very positive. The Faculty would like to invite those interested in this training to contact Mr Robert Jackson at the Royal College of Psychiatrists (e-mail: ).
