Abstract

This paper reviews the Approved Social Worker's role in sections 115, 129, 137, 138 and 29 of the Mental Health Act 1983. These sections form boundaries – or outer limits – of the ASW's role. This can result in stressful decisions involving professional and personal ethics, with additional implications for health, safety and good practice
