What does the Category Option mean?
The categories are intended to help you specify the scope for your search. As the database contains lots of different types of documents the category will help you target your searches to your own personal needs. Below is a definition of what the categories mean.
Consultation, Planning & Development
This category includes publications and reports that deal with the planning and delivery of mental health services, either at a local or national level. this also includes publications relating to associated services that would impact on mental health, ie services relating to children, older person, learning disabilities, housing etc.
Leaflets
This categor includes leaflets, factsheets and booklets about specific metnal health conditions, as well as information about the support available from national organisations and local voluntary and statutory organisations.
Mental Health Legislation
This includes all legislation that has already passed through Parliament, or is in the process of beoming law, ie Governmetn Bills, White and Green Papers. The links for these publications will usually be external to this web site and will act as a sign-posting to other sites such as the Departmetn of Health, the UK Parliament or other public information web sites.
Practice Guidelines
The publications in this category are nationally, and locally, accepted guidelines for best practice in the delivery of effective mental health services and are usually procuded by the Department of Health or NICE. Locally this would also include guideline procuded by council and health services. The publications may often complement existing or proposed mental health legislation or Government policies.
Public Enquiries & Audits
What if I don't know which category to choose?
If you are unsure which is the best category to choose then you select the 'any' category option. This will give you all the documents within the database on the issue you are searching.
I don't know the name of the leaflet I want, how to I find it?
Unless you know the specific name of the leaflet it can be quite difficult to remember all the words used in a title. It may be better to use a keyword or a particular word/phrase that you know does appear in the title (eg panic, or self help guide).
I want to find out all the documents by a particular organisation
Just type in the name, either in full or part, of the organisation in the search for field. Alternatively, if an organisation is more popularly known by an acronym - made up of the initial letters of their full name - ie LAMP or CAMHS, you can use that instead.

How can I check whether the leaflet is up-to-date?
