two.2.4) Description of the procurement
Whilst there are a number of existing low-intensity psychological roles in the healthcare system, these staff do not have the specific psychological / mental health training to actively support some of the psychological interventions required for this specific cohort of CYP.This training will ensure practitioners have the skills and knowledge to support the delivery of safe and effective care to young people who can be severely unwell and often have complex needs. This initiative will also contribute to reduced admissions and length of stay and reduce overall staff vacancy rates across the inpatient pathway.This training will include support for supervisors of the new role, who will also be expected to make a transformation contribution in developing and establishing the role.It is recognised that there are a number of existing education providers currently delivering training across a range of CYP MH and CYP IAPT pathways. This specification focuses on new training to be commissioned as part of a CYP MH Inpatient and Community Pathway New Role pilot.A new national curriculum has been developed and it is expected that the new training will be aligned to the CYP MH Inpatient pathway training curriculum (which can be seen at Appendix 1) together with the Competence Framework for Staff Working in Children and Young People's Inpatient Mental Health Services which builds on the UCL Competence Framework for Child & Adolescent Mental Health Services. The new training will also need to align with other competency frameworks such as the eating disorder competency framework, psychosis competency framework and autism competency frameworks.The new role pilot scheme, including the training provision, will be part of a rapid evaluation in order to contribute to decision making about its future roll-out.For further information relating to this opportunity please go to:https://health-family-contract-search.secure.force.com/?SearchType=ProjectsPlease note all questions pertaining to this project must be raised via the portal.
