CYP IAPT 2014 National Conference
Navigating through service developments and improvement can at times be difficult. This difficulty can be even more challenging when working across organisations/ sectors. What is a challenge for one sector is a way of life for another. The language we use and our ideas of social philosophy can provide a rich platform to develop or a rocky shore of pitfalls. Throw into the mix the requirements of CYP IAPT and service transform and you could have a perfect storm! In this workshop we hope to show that these choppy waters can lead to calm seas and the value we can gain from each other far outweighs any difficulties. The value of understanding each other positions, learning from each other and ultimately delivering a better service is at the end of the day what we all want.

Expo is the most significant annual health and social care event in the calendar, uniting more NHS and care leaders, commissioners, clinicians, voluntary sector partners, innovators and media than any other health and care event.
Expo 15 returned to Manchester and was hosted once again by NHS England. Around 5000 people a day from health and care, the voluntary sector, local government, and industry joined together at Manchester Central Convention Centre for two packed days of speakers, workshops, exhibitions and professional development.
This year, Expo was more relevant and engaging than ever before, happening within the first 100 days of the new Government, and almost 12 months after the publication of the NHS Five Year Forward View. It was also a great opportunity to check on and learn from the progress of Greater Manchester as the area prepares to take over a £6 billion devolved health and social care budget, pledging to integrate hospital, community, primary and social care and vastly improve health and well-being.

School can sometimes seem boring and tedious. You may hear that on any given day your student “did nothing” at school. That he or she has no homework and is generally disinterested in engaging in any school related academic endeavor. There are bright spots every now and then, like when an AP class does challenge, or when a teacher sparks a debate in an area your student is interested in. Unfortunately, these moments may come too sparsely sprinkled in the academic year. Your gifted student may be drowning in the doldrums of meeting the basic standards and the whirlpools of classroom management that seem to take up all of an educator’s classroom time. There are resources available and programs tailored to meet your gifted student's academic needs.

South EIP Peer & Carer Peer Worker Open Forum - PIER, Portland, Maine (USA) Sarah Amani
We were very happy to hear that Health Education England has an ambition to double the number of Peer Support Workers in mental health as we believe that peer support is such an important part of early intervention in psychosis. EIP teams in the South of England have grown their peer support workforce from 5 to 26 in the last couple of years. To support further development, we have set up a monthly forum for peer support workers and this forum is open to other professionals every 3 months. For the next forum, we will be joined by Randy Morrison (Director of Peer Services), Sarah Lynch (PIER Programme Manager) Danny Kochanowski (Peer Services Supervisor) and Saras Yerlig (Youth Peer Support Worker from the Portland Identification and Early Referral (PIER) Service in Maine, Portland (USA) to hear about how they have embedded peer support work across all their services and how they support peer workers to develop within their role.

Up the Ratios Bylaws - a Comprehensive Process of Our Organizationuptheratios
Up the Ratios is a non-profit organization dedicated to bridging the gap in STEM education for underprivileged students by providing free, high-quality learning opportunities in robotics and other STEM fields. Our mission is to empower the next generation of innovators, thinkers, and problem-solvers by offering a range of educational programs that foster curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking.
At Up the Ratios, we believe that every student, regardless of their socio-economic background, should have access to the tools and knowledge needed to succeed in today's technology-driven world. To achieve this, we host a variety of free classes, workshops, summer camps, and live lectures tailored to students from underserved communities. Our programs are designed to be engaging and hands-on, allowing students to explore the exciting world of robotics and STEM through practical, real-world applications.
Our free classes cover fundamental concepts in robotics, coding, and engineering, providing students with a strong foundation in these critical areas. Through our interactive workshops, students can dive deeper into specific topics, working on projects that challenge them to apply what they've learned and think creatively. Our summer camps offer an immersive experience where students can collaborate on larger projects, develop their teamwork skills, and gain confidence in their abilities.
In addition to our local programs, Up the Ratios is committed to making a global impact. We take donations of new and gently used robotics parts, which we then distribute to students and educational institutions in other countries. These donations help ensure that young learners worldwide have the resources they need to explore and excel in STEM fields. By supporting education in this way, we aim to nurture a global community of future leaders and innovators.
Our live lectures feature guest speakers from various STEM disciplines, including engineers, scientists, and industry professionals who share their knowledge and experiences with our students. These lectures provide valuable insights into potential career paths and inspire students to pursue their passions in STEM.
Up the Ratios relies on the generosity of donors and volunteers to continue our work. Contributions of time, expertise, and financial support are crucial to sustaining our programs and expanding our reach. Whether you're an individual passionate about education, a professional in the STEM field, or a company looking to give back to the community, there are many ways to get involved and make a difference.
We are proud of the positive impact we've had on the lives of countless students, many of whom have gone on to pursue higher education and careers in STEM. By providing these young minds with the tools and opportunities they need to succeed, we are not only changing their futures but also contributing to the advancement of technology and innovation on a broader scale.

Russian anarchist and anti-war movement in the third year of full-scale warAntti Rautiainen
Anarchist group ANA Regensburg hosted my online-presentation on 16th of May 2024, in which I discussed tactics of anti-war activism in Russia, and reasons why the anti-war movement has not been able to make an impact to change the course of events yet. Cases of anarchists repressed for anti-war activities are presented, as well as strategies of support for political prisoners, and modest successes in supporting their struggles.

Using a brief solution focussed approach with children in care
1. Using a brief solution focussed
approach with children in care: An
evaluation of the NSPCC Face to
Face service
Prakash Fernandes and Louise Bazalgette
2. • 45% of children in care have a mental disorder (Meltzer et al, 2003); a rate that
is four times higher than children in the general population (Ford et al, 2007)
• The mental health needs of children in care are frequently unmet due to:
o A lack of routine assessment
o Ineligibility for support (e.g. not meeting diagnostic criteria/ child is not in
a stable placement)
o Waiting lists for CAMHS and inaccessible services.
• NSPCC research conducted by The Who Cares? Trust with children in care
found they wanted:
o Face to face support in a venue that was “not like an office”
o An accessible location
o Support from a person who would “understand and not judge”
o A confidential service that was “not a big heavy thing” and would make
them “feel happier”
2
Why a new service for LAC
3. The Face to Face model
• Aimed at young people aged 5-18 (in care or on the edge of care)
• Solution Focused Brief Therapy as the method of intervention
• Supporting the child/young person to identify their skills and strengths
• Child/ young person-led approach (their issue)
• A timely and responsive service – aim to respond within 24 hours
• Brief intervention – up to 8 sessions.
• Flexibility: the child or young person decides frequency and location of sessions
Referral pathways:
• Referral by a professional or self-referral
Access and reach:
• The service has been offered in 18 locations in England, Wales and N. Ireland
• 1,543 young people accessed the service between September 2011 and
February 2015.

Service Development
5. • The Outcome Rating Scale to measure change for young people
• To measure ‘quality of life’ changes not change in just ‘symptoms’
• To give young people control in defining the changes experienced
• Follow up data after 3 months using the ORS and a questionnaire
• Questionnaires at the first and last session
• Interviews with children and foster carers at the end of the service
• Focus groups with practitioners
• Interviews with referrers

Other new services received by young people during the period
Approximately half (51%) of the young people in the sample were not
accessing any support from services. The other half ( 48%) identified
support they were receiving from CAMHS, children services, other
counselling services or programmes and 1% were waiting for support
from other agencies.
11. • Increased confidence
• Managing anger
• Better relationships
( with family and peers)
• Better Learning at school
• More positive outlook to life
• Greater confidence to seek help

Types of changes for young
people
Just I feel a better person just now I
can talk more to people. If I had
something bothering me I an go
and talk to them because before I
couldn’t have done that because I
would have felt nobody’s
listening, who cares? But now I
know there's people out there that
do care and do want to help me.
So I feel a better person for
managing to talk.
12. • Making them feel good about themselves
• Focussed on a key issue
• Rehearsing different ways of doing things
• Helping young people look ahead and ‘let
the past go’
• Scaling questions to sustain change
• Relationship : made me laugh,
persistence, just gets it, face to face
• Being in control
12
How Face to Face helped them
achieve change
Because if someone else has
said, you know, “Right go and
do this. Go and talk to this
person.” Then you'll feel
pressurised and you don’t want
to, you’re scared, whereas if
you’re thinking and you’re
thinking to yourself, ‘I could do it
myself,’ then you find you make
it easier for yourself.
13. How face to face is different from
other services
• Focused on strengths
• Practical
• Independent
• Helps ‘prevent, problems
13
Like sometimes we just do like
he’ll become the social worker
and I’ll try to talk to him and we
do it like that. My feelings are
never really changed but I think
slowly – he gives me ways to talk
to them, which makes me kind of
get somewhere without getting
angry . Before when I got angry, I
would swear and just lose my
temper but he’s given me like
techniques to talk to them ( social
workers) in like the appropriate
way that makes them listen.
14. • Too much talking: would have liked more activities, drawing things
• More involvement from fostercarers /family would have been helpful for
some sessions
• More information about the service at the beginning of the work
• Length of sessions could have been longer
• Meeting in different venues such as the park or café may help some
children
14
Barriers to achieving change
16. • Child centred approach
• Child/young person defining the problem, separating the professional
goals
• Listening- to use language of child
• Children in control
• ‘Time limited nature of the approach
• Beginning work with a clear outcome
• Lends itself to more focussed inter agency working
• Solution focussed approach
• Focus on the positives and their interests
• Techniques of best day, preferred future and scaling – powerful tools to
think about change
16
Key aspects of the model that
facilitated change
17. • Building rapport with the child to gain trust seems rushed to finish in
eight session
• Younger children or children with learning difficulties struggle with
some aspects of the model- scaling and preferred future
• Young people having ‘unachievable’ goals
• Unstable placements at time could limit engagement of the young
person in the work
17
Barriers to helping children
achieve change
18. • 64% of young people had experienced a reliable change of 5 points or
more on the ORS
• Only 14.5% of young people were still experiencing clinical levels of
distress by the end of the work
• 3 months after the work had ended, 95% of young people said things
had continued to improve or had stayed better
• Young people and practitioners were able to articulate clear benefits of
this way of working
