More about Seni’s Law:

Seni’s Law is all about reducing harm done to people who use mental health services. It is aimed at preventing inappropriate use of force. The use of force can mean many things but it includes forcing people to take medication or secluding them (keeping them away from others). The Law has these two main aims:

Make clear what is needed to prevent the inappropriate use of force.

Make sure there is accountability and transparency about the use of force in mental health care.
