Why TRAIN with SHARP?
The SHARP team is comprised of Practitioners with varied experience and professional qualifications in Health, Education and
Social Care. SHARP Practitioners offer evidenced based therapeutic interventions to children and young people who present
with self-harm and/or suicidal behaviours.
SHARP aims to equip professionals with the appropriate skills and resources to enable confidence and good practice when
working with children and young people. All of the SHARP training workshops are developed through our learning and knowledge
gained from working with children and young people. Our resources are unique, creative and current, they have proved to be
an essential part of a practical toolkit for many front-line professionals who support children and young people.
Future in Mind (NHS England 2015) has a vested interest in ensuring that everyone who works with children and young people
should be excellent in their practice and able to deliver the best-evidenced care. Workforce development is essential and all
staff should have access to a range of training opportunities. An independent evaluation of the service completed in 2015,
concluded that ‘the SHARP project provides an effective intervention service for adolescents who self-harm both in a school
and an NHS context. The survey of professionals working with children and adolescents who had undergone the SHARP training
programme indicated that the programme had been useful and increased their knowledge of self-harm. Findings from the
interviews with school and healthcare staff suggested that this increase in awareness had led to an increase in personal
confidence and capability when dealing with cases of self-harm’.
Empowering People - Improving the Workforce
Learners from more than 100 organisations within Nottingham City have attended our training. We have provided in-house
training to several public, private and corporate organisations including the NHS, Social Care, Education and the Voluntary Sector.
Self-Harm Awareness & Resource Project (SHARP)
SHARP is commissioned by Nottingham Clinical Commissioning Partnership (CCP), who recognise the importance of training
and development for all professionals who work with children and young people.
SHARP are established within Nottingham City and play a key role in early intervention, supporting children and young
people who self-harm by identifying behaviours early through risk assessment, ensuring appropriate support is offered to
help reduce any self-harm and improve mental health.
