MasterClasses

CAMHS EBPU has funding from the Department of Health to run a series of master classes, the first of which took place in June and July 2010. These master classes are entitled ‘Local Evaluation in CAMHS’, ‘Children and Young People’s Involvement and User Participation’ and ‘Developing Evidence Based and Outcomes Informed Practice in CAMHS’. These master classes are aimed at developing the skills of practitioners and managers in terms of undertaking meaningful local evaluation, out-comes informed and evidence based outcomes and ensuring appropriate user participation.

Hearing Voices

Hearing Voices is a project evaluating the London Voice Collective, a service which provides advice, support and workshops/groups for young people who hear voices. The aim of the evaluation is to try to work out what aspects of the service are working well, and how we can improve it.
