Report of the Commissioner.

Members received a report of the Commissioner regarding the City of London Police’s Mental Health Response. The following matters were raised in discussion:

• Members requested an update on Mental Health Triage.
• A Member highlighted the City Wellbeing Centre on Middlesex Street, where individuals could pay as much as they could afford (i.e. no fixed fee) for mental health services.
• Members suggested that the Police needed to involve schools within their partnerships.
• Members asked what does the City of London do and what could it do for those people employed by a City of London business, but are working at home, elsewhere in the country?

The Commissioner explained that the Force was taking the National Right Care, Right Person approach and adopting national best practice. Significant efforts were going into partnership building and this was feeding into the Safer City Partnership.

RESOLVED, that the update be noted.
