1. 1. lack of information sharing between police and mental health services

   “At the time of arrest of Mr [name redacted], the Police were aware of his assessment under Section 136 of the Mental Health Act the previous day. The Custody Nurse had contacted the Crisis Team to obtain information regarding the 136 assessment which was duly given by the Mental Health Team. However, there was no reciprocal exchange of information and the Mental Health Team were not informed that Mr [name redacted] had been arrested with regards to Threats to Kill his partner.”

2. 2. non-disclosure of mutual information sharing policy

   “This document was not disclosed prior to the Inquest or during the Inquest itself and it would have been critical to ask witnesses from the Police and Mental Health Services about their knowledge of this document.”
