Overview
Ensuring the supply of staff trained to deliver high quality care for children and young people’s mental health (CYP MH) is critical to delivering the NHS Long Term Plan (LTP) commitments. The availability of appropriate CYPMH supervision is emerging as a key limiting factor for any options of expansion of MHSTs and other CYP MH services beyond current plans. It is also becoming increasingly clear that in order to reach the access target of 345,000 by 23/24, and 100% coverage by the end of the LTP period, we will need to equip our workforce to offer a broader range of interventions to children, young people and families from a wider range of backgrounds and in spaces beyond the clinic and educational settings.
This two year programme will provide trainees an opportunity to extend the clinical skillset of their existing roles, enhance their specialisation for community and educational settings respectively, expand supervisory capacity, support workforce retention within the low intensity profession and enable widened participation and social mobility within this workforce.
Highlights
- Equips supervisor trainees with knowledge to guide low-intensity practitioners in their clinical practice, ethical and legal frameworks, and multi-agency working.
- Enables supervisor trainees to broaden their underpinning knowledge of psychological theories and practices of supervising low-intensity supervisees and the importance of case management supervision
- Enables supervisor trainees to reflect on their skills, with an emphasis on demonstrating a number of key characteristics central to delivering effective supervision
Entry Requirements
- Qualified WPCYP/EMHP with 1-years post qualification
- Full CBT training and BABCP accreditable
or
- Previous work as a Supervising/Senior PWP e.g. in Adult IAPT
or
- Significant CBT training within core profession (e.g. Psychologist).
