The government has announced new funding for safe places for people in mental health crisis. The £15 million fund will help to provide health and community based places of safety to prevent vulnerable people being held in police cells (includes making existing places of safety suitable for people aged 18 and under). The 23 priority areas where the use of police cells is amongst the highest will be invited to bid for funding. |
