Critical Values Based Practice Network

Our Purpose

The critical values based practice network comprises of practitioners and academics from the statutory, private and voluntary sector working within mental health. It focuses on education, research and practice which attempts to critique and address the barriers to implementing values based practice in mental health in-patient settings. We have an explicit focus on exploring professional and organisational power structures which underpin these barriers. This position informs educational and practice based action research initiatives which attempt to acknowledge and work within legal and ethical constraints to improve collaborative practices.
