Core mental health standards
These core standards support adult secondary services with the aim of improving quality and safety of mental health services for people in Scotland.
7. Structure of the Standards
The standards are structured around the themes that emerged from engagement with people with lived experience of using mental health and psychological services and the workforce. The themes are:
- Access
- Assessment, Care Planning, Treatment and Support
- Moving between and out of Services
- Workforce
- Governance and Accountability.
Each theme contains a section which describes what a person can expect when using mental health services: ‘What I can expect’. Each section also contains information which describes how services should be designed and delivered: ‘How services and teams will deliver this’.
