ON THE SPOT: WHAT DO YOU DO?

You will remember Anne Petersham from Week One. She had been admitted for complusory treatment under the Mental Health Act.

She wrote you a letter explaining her feelings and what she wanted to happen. 

In the letter she told you that her father has been abusing her since she was 11.

It is now visiting time and a man you have not seen before is sitting with Anne. Anne seems upset and you see he is gripping her arm rather hard. You go the desk and ask who the man is. The nurse says, 'Oh, that is Anne's father.'

At the moment only some of the professioanal team know about the letter, but none of them are on duty.

What do you do?

It is proposed that you should call the police and show them the letter
