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.
Effective training and service
development are key to the success of the project. A national curriculum has
been developed to train therapists, supervisors and service managers in
the therapies selected for Phase One of the Children
and Young People's IAPT Project ie CBT and Parent
Training for 3-10 year olds , as well as service development and
organisational change.
