It's day one of the inquiry and I'm already furious to hear how such non-legal considerations influenced decisions about serious offences prior to the 2023 killings.
It's almost as if the DR and the police hadn't read the 2019 CPS guidance on suspects and defendants, isn't it?!
@GoodwinMJ You're literally a white supremacist.
You argued that black and brown people are less British.
And you regularly spread fear about a "shrinking white population".... Which is a message of violence against black & brown people.
There may be a time in the future when AI intelligences may require a formal assessment under an (extensively amended MHA) (after all they do exhibit "hallucinations"), but I will thankfully be long dead by then. (Gives me an idea for a future blog).
I may be old fashioned, but it frankly sounds like a terrible idea. AI is not sentient, has no human emotions, and cannot help in any way in assessing what's going on in real life in a formal MHA assessment. I think the need for real AMHPs is going to continue for many years.

@MaskedAMHP Good evening, current AMHP here....would like to know your views on AMHPS now using A.I to write reports and rationales for MHA assessments. Seems prevalent now...my view is that it may deskill and create issues down the line...such as coroners court etc.
@ChristineMcPh15 Yes, I'm retired but still in BASW and also in the MH Thematic group. I could raise it at the next meeting which isn't for a couple of months.
The Mental Health Act 2025 was enacted on 18.12.25. The Act amends the MHA 1983, which means that the amended Act will still be known as the Mental Health Act 1983. This is the link to the MHA 2025:

@ChristineMcPh15 As far as I am aware, it will only be interpretation and guidance on the amendments. I can't off the top of my head say whether people with hearing impairment are included in the new Act. If you're a member of BASW you could ask the Mental Health Thematic Group.
