We all understand the human rights ethos that is built into mental health services, whether CAMHS or adult services. Unfortunately, from time to time, we come across people with severe difficulties who are a danger to themselves and others. With all the human rights-based legislation and so on, we do not necessarily have a means for dealing with that. I appreciate that is a bit of a curveball to throw.
