Adult secondary mental health services - quality standards: consultation - easy read

We want to hear your views on their new standards for adult secondary mental health services. We have asked a series of questions, and your answers to these will help us write the final standards.


Part 1: Access Standards

What I can expect:

I will be able to easily get and understand information on services – who they are for, what they are, and how I can be referred to them.

If I ask for support I will be supported to get the help that is right for me no matter where I first made contact.

After I am referred to a service, I will be told how long I will have to wait to be seen. I will get regular updates if the time I must wait is longer than this.

I will be given information on other available support like online resources and community resources which will support me while I wait.

I will be treated with kindness, compassion, dignity and respect when accessing services and my personal situation and needs will be considered.

I will get care and support at a time that suits my needs.
