Community Treatment Order

Why might it be of interest?

Hopefully, if you or your young person is subject to a community treatment order you will have had it fully explained to you.  You will know what it is for; how it will be carried out; and who are the key professionals involved.

If you are unsure about any of this there are good resources from mental health organisations.  These are links to information from Mind, Rethink and a government website:
