Calocane, who was a student at University of Nottingham at the time, later had a mental health assessment where he described hearing voices. The assessment concluded Calocane was dealing with a first episode of psychosis, which was attributed to sleep deprivation and exam-related stress.

Langdale said a doctor involved in the assessment had been “leaning towards” sectioning Calocane due to it being his “first presentation of psychosis” and a lack of information about his risk history. However, a team of mental health professionals considered research evidence that examined the over-representation of young black men in detention.

It’s shit like this that gives the racists ammo.

I’m not a medical expert by any stretch of the imagination, so I may be talking out my arse here, but it sounds like unless it’s explicitly pertinent to the assessment the team shouldn’t be made aware of the ethnicity of the person they’re assessing. So they can neither positively or negatively discriminate.
