The Mental Health Liaison Service is commissioned by Derby and Derbyshire Clinical Commissioning Group. It provides specialist infrastructure support to the mental health voluntary and community sector in the following ways:
- Provides a platform for voluntary agencies delivering mental health services to come together to discuss matters of common interest and influence strategic planning in mental health;
- Represents voluntary sector mental health providers on strategic commissioning and other key multi-agency planning groups and review bodies;
- Trains and supports other voluntary sector representatives.
