Join us as we present our project, which focuses on addressing healthcare inequality.
In the UK, Black people are much more likely to be detained under the Mental Health Act than white people. This means they can be held in hospital for mental health treatment without their consent.
Recent national data shows some improvement: Black people are now three and a half times more likely to be detained than white people, rather than five times. While this is progress, we still have a long way to go to achieve fairness.
This significant inequality in healthcare needs to be addressed. Our project aims to understand why this happens and find ways to make mental health care fairer for Black people.
