Children and young people who had experience of being sectioned were invited to present evidence of their experiences to MPs and key decision makers in relation to the Mental Health Bill. They argued against young people being held on adult mental health wards. The law has been changed and hospital managers must now make sure that people under the age of 18 are placed in an environment that is suitable for their needs: if an adult ward is not suitable then they cannot be admitted there. Young people have been central to this change in the law.
