I’ve read your posts and the whole thread. It is pretty obvious that the individual is seriously disadvantaged by what has happened. The NR can be empowered, if possible. Here is an ‘extreme’ article on the role and powers of the NR: The Pivotal Role of the Nearest Relative in Mental Health Care (with fat disclaimers). As I never provide advice, you may wish to search through it to realise the NR’s powers and facilitate taking action.
Standard tips for taking action:
- Avoid phone calls to ‘people’ and ‘organisations’ - because they tend to be ignored - from my long experience.
- Emails: same as above.
- Obtain legal advice and/or action.
- If no means to obtain legal advice, then use the information from the linked article (after double checking) to put in stiff letters to various ‘people’ or ‘organisations’.
- If sending letters ensure proof of delivery is sought.
- Always keep 5 backup copies (3 electronic and 2 paper copies)
- Always request or demand responses within a reasonable time frame such as “X working days”.
- When in doubt, consider writing the ‘a Chief Exec’ and or MP.
- Keep an organised file and prepare for ‘battle’ or ‘war’.
- And finally psychological preparation is ‘everything’ as these things are so stressful. But ‘Never back down!’ https://youtu.be/xy921Pn3lhA - no it’s not ‘devil music’ - as I’ve been told - see lyrics Two Steps From Hell – Never Back Down Lyrics | Genius Lyrics - it’s my song before I go into battle. It may not work for everybody. Cheers.
