It is expected that half the presenters at
plenary sessions will be people with lived
experience of mental health/mental disability
services. It is also hoped that at least one
fifth of the delegates to the conference will have such lived experience.
Mental disability law (including both mental
health law and mental capacity law) in the UK has
come into its own in recent years, and there is
now a wide range of researchers active in the
field, in a variety of disciplines, along with people with lived experience.
Plenaries ... at this time include –
What do we Want from a New Mental Health Act?
The Effects of Austerity
UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with
Disabilities: What is this ‘New Paradigm’?
The conference organisers invite offers of papers
for the breakout sessions from scholars of any
discipline relevant to law and governance
relating to mental disability (including
psychosocial disabilities/mental health problems,
learning disabilities, and dementia and related
disorders of old age). There is no restriction on
methodology: papers may be empirical,
policy-centred, historical, analytic, traditional
legal, or theoretical, in approach.
Deadline for submission of offers of papers is 01 May 2018.
