Children and Young People’s ProjectUpdate from the South-WestCatherine Gallop and Ian Frampton from the South-West collaborative describe their experiences of biddingto join the CYP IAPT programme, and how all the stakeholders in the new collaborative have come togetheraround their shared values.Exeter UniversityDevon, Plymouth, Torbay CAMHS, Exeter Universityand Young Devon have joined to create a new South-West IAPT collaborative. We are a diverse groupof practitioners, managers, commissioners, trainingproviders and youth participation specialists who allhave a passion for working with young people andtheir communities. Providing a service across a largelyrural and coastal county, but with three major urbancentres, requires understanding of the service pressuresacross different geographic and demographicareas, which range from high deprivation to relativeaffluence.When shared passions come together there is potential for great creativity, butalso for conflict unless shared aspirations can be agreed. This was never moreevident than when considering our own values in the light of the values and visionof the CYP IAPT programme, and having to agree a common way forward.Our self-assessments gave us a good basis from which to put together our bid. Itwas important for each of us to appraise honestly our services and educationalprovision in the light of what CYP IAPT would be asking of us. In addition toour core values, we each needed to acknowledge our weaknesses and emphasisethe strengths each service would bring to the collaborative. And, althoughenormously diverse, the partners are complementary, and are learning how to collaborateacross organisational boundaries.At the heart of putting together a successful bid was high-level endorsement,not least the strong contribution from our children’s commissioner, as well astrusting, open and honest relationships across the leadership group. Althoughthe memory of the final presentations is a blur of huddles, late-night telephoneconversations, last-minute dashes across London, and fleeting encounters withother CAMHS teams in the foyer, one thing was clear and heartening: everyone inthis group went the extra mile to make the bid happen.Catherine Gallop,Programme LeadIan FramptonParenting LeadSo what would be our advice to others preparing to join CYP IAPT? Well, start with an honest self-appraisalof your own services, develop strong, open relationships with your partners, ensure you have endorsementat all levels from service users to commissioners, be prepared to go the extra mile, and don’t panic if yourPowerPoint lets you down on the day!For more information please see: http://www.iapt.nhs.uk/cyp-iapt5
Children and Young People’s ProjectUpdate from ReadingIt is an exciting time for Reading, as year 1 trainees are returning to their workplaces to embed their learningfor the benefit of children, young people and parents. 19 CBT trainees, six parenting trainees, sevensupervisors and 18 leadership delegates hope to graduate in the Summer of 2013.We gained new partners for Year 2 back in July this year: Berkshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust,South Essex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust, and Central and North West London NHS FoundationTrust. We have also been fortunate to be joined again by our year 1 partners: 2Gether Trust, Gloucester,and Bournemouth and Poole Children and Young People’s Emotional Health and Wellbeing Service, andDorset Healthcare University NHS Foundation Trust. We are looking forward to working with partnersold and new and sharing the lessons learned from year 1.We were busy with interviews during the summer and have recruited 35 new trainees, eight supervisorsand 22 service leads for year 2. The leadership and supervisors’ courses started in November and thetrainees all start at the University of Reading in December.We have been changing the way we record information and will soon be moving to a new system whichwill give us remote access and will provide clinical staff with instant feedback about how the children andyoung people are getting on. We have also been trialling the use of iPads and hope this latest technologywill help us collect information about how the training is affecting the young people we look after.As part of the leadership programme, year 1 graduates are working on projects around self-referral andimplementation of routine outcome measures across whole services. They are also currently working onpilots to ensure lessons learned in Year 1 are taken into account prior to full implementation. In addition,Year 1 leadership graduates will also be coaching Year 2 leadership delegates.Our young people been creating two films to raise awareness ofCYP IAPT. A group of around 20 initially met with a productioncompany in May and since then have been producing two films, oneaimed at younger children and another aimed at adults. The youngpeople have worked extremely hard to storyboard the films, draw thegraphics, record the voiceovers and film footage. They have learnedmany new skills and have worked brilliantly as a team. The penultimateversions of the films were premiered at the University of Reading’send of year 1 celebration event on 5th December and the young peopleare looking forward to getting together for the “wrap party”. Thefilms will be made available for all to view early in the New Year.Young people from Reading areproducing two films“What amazed me was how much we’ve done and that from ourideas to start with, we now have something people can watch.I can’t wait to see my name at the end!”Young participantFor more information please see: http://www.iapt.nhs.uk/cyp-iapt6
