==England==
In England, forms must comply with the [[Mental Health (Hospital, Guardianship and Treatment) (England) Regulations 2008]], as amended by [[Mental Health (Hospital, Guardianship and Treatment) (England) (Amendment) Regulations 2020]] with effect from 1/12/20 (some forms were not changed by the 2020 regulations).

{{statutory forms icon description}} The updated pink forms state "Form amended by SI 2020/1072 for use from 1 December 2020" (this wording does not affect the validity of the forms any more than the name/address of a company selling the forms would).
