From segregation to inclusion: Commissioning guidance on day services for people with mental health problems

This guidance is designed to assist commissioners of mental health services in the refocusing of day services for working-age adults with mental health problems into community resources that promote social inclusion and promote the role of work and gaining skills in line with current policy and legislation. This is good practice guidance for commissioners and it progresses the implementation of the developmental standards as set out in 'National Standards: Local Action'; published by the Department of Health in 2004.
