As part of its current work programme, the Overview and Scrutiny Committee has expressed interest in receiving a presentation or briefing on the provision of local mental health services.

Whilst this aspect of the work programme is being developed, members are advised that such services and the building of partnerships to work better with mental health professionals, will be the subject of a briefing at the Civic Offices on 16 July 2019. Tendayi Musundire, Head of Safeguarding for Essex Partnership University NHS Trust and Dr. James Louis, a mental health doctor in West Essex, will be talking about how agencies can work together to share best practice and support residents and colleagues with their mental health. As better partnership working could help identify problems before they get to crisis level, the briefing has been developed for the Council’s customer facing staff. However, members are also invited to attend the session, which will be held in the Council Chamber from 2.00pm to 4.00pm.
