Both schemes reported some early evidence of success. As a result, in 2013 the DH invested L2 million to explore the possibility of other local areas using the approaches developed in Leicestershire and Cleveland. Nine pilot areas were selected, based on a number of considerations, such as geographic spread, a mix of urban and rural settings, and current performance on the numbers of people being taken to police custody under section 136 (s136) of the Mental Health Act 1983 (MHA). The pilots each ran for 12 months, the first starting in Sussex in October 2013. These nine pilot areas are the focus of this report. Street Triage -- Street Triage involves a joint mental health service and policing approach to crisis care. Based on locally agreed protocols, Street Triage aims to support access to appropriate crisis care, to provide more timely access to other health, social care and third sector services, and to reduce the use of police cells as places of safety for s136 detentions. Methods The evaluation comprised three phases: 1. A description of the operation of the nine Street Triage pilot schemes. 2. An exploration and analysis of the quantitative data available on the operation and outcome of the Street Triage teams. 3. An analysis of available qualitative data from interviews with health and police staff, service users and family members involved in the pilot schemes, supplemented by additional interviews undertaken specifically for this project. .
