Service Transformation
Training current members of staff so service can deliver evidence based
therapies
Backfill is provided to cover staff who are being trained.
Family therapy is an important part of delivery in CAMHS services but often
delivered by people with little or no training
Structure of trainings on offer
Core Basic - 60 credits
Specialist – 60 credits. generic systemic; plus additional credits for ‘disorder’
Supervision – 60 credits. generic supervision; plus credits in specialist
(systemic) modality
Leadership
CORE Training
Core training - front line staff with basic competencies, not specific to
professional group
Three units:
Unit one: Core competences for work with C and YP , child and family
development, legal framework, mental health, ethical guidelines, working
across agencies, child protection, cultural competence,
psychopharmacology, outcome measurements
Core training
Unit two: Generic therapeutic competences
therapeutic alliance, manage transitions, emotional content, use supervision
Unit three: Assessment and formulation
Comprehensive assessment – across systems
Risk assessment
Ability to formulate and feedback
Specialist Training
Being delivered in CBT and Parent training
Curriculum for IPT is almost finished
Systemic curriculum under construction
What will the course look like?
It will be 60 academic credits delivered at a postgraduate level
Broadly based and based on evidence based interventions
Will also contain specialist modules especially for Eating Disorder and Self
Harm and Depression
Will contain a supervised practice element
Will ideally link to professional accreditation
What can the group decide?
Can determine what goes into the curriculum
Its structure
Admission criteria
How clinical practice is managed
How it is assessed
Can also feed into supervision and leadership training curricula
So Far
The group has looked at the current curriculum for CBT and parent training
Looked at a range of training manuals
Taken into account the work on competencies previously developed
Some Preliminary Decisions
Will use the SHIFT manual developed by Paula Boston and Ivan Eisler for the
SHIFT project (self harm) as a basis
Will contain supervised practice with qualified supervisors
Will be at a postgraduate level
Decisions to be made
Number of specialist modules
Entry criteria
Curriculum content
Next steps
Further looking at other manualised approaches eg for depression and
attachment based interventions to see if anything needs to be included
Small group meeting next week for a day to write preliminary draft
Nest meeting in the New Year.
My take on implications for the field
It is brilliant that so many people will get training in systemic work with families
It will not lead to more Family Therapy Posts
There will be a demand for qualified supervisors
Current Foundation Courses may suffer from reduction in numbers in some areas
May be demand for higher level training
More members of AFT?
Revision of our training standards has to fit so that the IAPT training can be used as a foundation level
training – very timely!
Supervision training needs to take account of the likely responsibilities for supervisors.
