Children and Young People’s IAPT Project – Launch of offer for 2012-13

Joining Children and Young People's IAPT Project in 2012-13  

The key aim of the Children and Young People's IAPT project is to transform existing services for children and young people by adopting those elements of the IAPT programme which will help improve outcomes for children and young people, providing treatment which is based on best evidence, outcomes focussed and client informed. 

In 2012-13 the project will continue to offer training in CBT, Parenting Therapy for 3-10 year olds and service transformation. Local CAMHS partnerships will receive a budget to assist with transformation in their local area. 

In 2012-13 there is the opportunity to join the project either by

  • linking to an existing collaborative where the HEIs are based in  London, Reading or Salford
  • or, in areas of the country which cannot easily reach an existing collaborative, the project is seeking to appoint up to two new Learning Collaboratives.
