The Children and Young People's IAPT Project Phase One Learning
Collaboratives.
The Children and Young people's IAPT Project asked universities
and teaching providers (HEIs) to link up with local CAMHS partnerships to come
together to transform their local CAMHS. The way this transformation will
take place is through training staff and service managers in evidence based
practice (in year one, CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) and parenting
therapy), making sure that the whole service, not just the trainee therapists,
use session by session outcome monitoring and improving access (see National Curriculum). Any organisation seeking
funding had to tell us how they are going to involve children, young people and
families to consider the service change necessary, and each local area
partnership which is successful has an allowance in their budget for
participation.
The first three collaboratives are:
- UCL (University College London)/KCL (King's College London) as the joint HEIs covering Cambridge, Hertfordshire, Sussex, Greenwich, Lambeth & Southwark, Haringey, Westminster and Wandsworth.
- Salford Cognitive Therapy Training Centre at Greater Manchester West NHS Mental Health Foundation Trust as the HEI covering North Pennine, South Pennine, Manchester & Salford, Derby and Barnsley.
- Reading as the HEI covering Oxford, Buckinghamshire, Swindon, Wiltshire, Bath & NE Somerset, Bournemouth, Dorset, Poole and Gloucestershire.
The 3 collaboratives work not only in their own region but
into neighbouring regions. With this first phase of partnerships we will
transform services which cover a population of 2 million under 18 year olds.
