This month the Department of Health has been selecting new collaboratives for inclusion in the second wave of the national CYP IAPT project.
A group of young women from Leeds project Getaway Girls formed a young person’s panel in order to feed into this decision-making process.
Catherine, Sarah and Shanise were provided with training on the IAPT programme and met with Kathryn Pugh and colleagues in the DH to get an update on CYP IAPT.
They based their interview assessment criteria around on the nine IAPT participation key indicators which guides the development and progression of IAPT sites in relation to the participation agenda.
The panel worked hard and professionally throughout the day, and fed back invaluable insight to the professional panel. They also got to spend some time in central London doing some sightseeing!
There will be film footage documenting this process shown at the IAPT conference in July.
We'll find out soon which sites were picked. Watch this space!
