Regions and Regional Contacts
It is important that you make your application to the correct Approvals office.
This is designated by using your professional address and can be determined by looking at which areas are covered by which office, using the Regional Contacts list below:
It is a practitioners responsibility to ensure the regional administrators are aware of a move from one professional address to another so that the register can be updated and your approval can be transferred with you, enabling local checks to be made on your authority to carry out Section 12 or Approved Clinician work and to ensure your approval does not expire and protect you from undertaking unlawful duties.
It is also important that you keep the regional administrator up to date with your contact details. These are used for a variety of reasons: from inclusion on the Section 12 and approved clinician register (available to AMHPs, Police and Local Authorities for call out purposes) to administrative uses such as contacting you to remind you that your approval is due for renewal or has lapsed and confirm that you are aware of this.
This register is protected by the Data Protection Act and NO personal or confidential information is used for anything other than administration and is NEVER published or distributed.
Please use the Change of Circumstances and Contact Details form to update the administrator on your details.
