TAKING STOCK: The MHA 1983 and MCA 2005 reforms A National Conference jointly sponsored by the Approved Mental Health Professionals Association (North West and North Wales) and Cardiff Law School with sponsorship from Weightmans LLP Solicitors and support from Manchester University. The Conference will review the leading judgments and policy initiatives that have emerged since the historic reform by the Mental Health Act 2007 of the Mental Capacity Act 2005 and the Mental Health Act 1983. The Conference will open with a Key Note Address by Lord Justice Munby, Chairman of the Law Commission. Leading commentators on the reformed legislation will provide their analyses of what the judgments and policy developments mean and what the future holds for this most contested area of law and practice. The Conference provides an opportunity for discussion, questions and debate and will be of especial relevance to those who are affected by the legislation, be they service users, advocates, health and social care practitioners, lawyers, researchers, independent sector service providers and policy activists.
