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.
