From 9 May to 5 June 2014 the CQC consulted on the proposal to change the job title for the Mental Health Act Commissioner role.
Many groups were consulted:
- Mental Health Act staff
- Service User Reference Group
- Mental Health Policy Team
- Mental Health Act Advisory Group
- Experts by Experience (through Choice Support)
- Mental Health Inspection Directorate
- and the Legal team
As a result, from 1 October 2014 the title ‘Mental Health Act Reviewer’ will be used for staff undertaking Mental Health Act activity on behalf of CQC.
Any documentation developed in the meantime will use the new title.
The CQC will also work with other departments to ensure all current information is changed to refer to the MHA Reviewers and updated by 1 October 2014.
