Interview with
Dr Miranda Wlopert
Evaluating Kidstime Workshops
Kidstime workshops are monthly events for
parents and children where one or both parents
have mental health problems. The workshops’
main aim is to explore and discuss mental
health issues in a simple and non-stigmatising way. CAMHS EBPU was asked to evaluate
the effectiveness of these workshops and was
involved with trying to help others who wish to
set up similar workshops in their own area.
T
he Evidence Based Practice Unit (EBPU) is leading
through the difficult times for all involved in mental
health services. Winning three nationally imp­­ortant projects
means a great responsibility and several months in Payment
by Results, BOND and Children & Young People’s IAPT have
shown us the importance of communication and networks.
In this issue Dr Miranda Wolpert, EBPU and CORC Director,
talks to Selina Fox from the Health Foundation.
W
e are pleased that the EBPU has successfully completed
yet another year of providing training through national
master classes for clinicians. Classes covered the topics of how
to drive quality improvement and service user participation
and embed evidence-based practice in their service. In order
to continue the good work in facilitating helpful discussions
between researchers, data analysis experts, clinicians, and
advocates of service users in CAMHS we are planning further
work on these topics through our upcoming events.
As part of this the EBPU organised two
workshops which examined the results of
the evaluation, included feedback from two
service users and discussed some of the
practicalities of setting up and running such
workshops. Attendees were also given a free
copy of the new Kidstime Manual which sets
out the details of running the workshops.
(We still have some free copies of the manual
available on request.)
Over 100 people
attended the
workshops and
feedback has been
very positive, with 95%
rating the workshops
as either good or
excellent. There has
also been a lot of
interest in the Kidstime
RCT with just over 40
people signing up for
more information.

PROJECT NEWS
CPRU- Child Health Policy Research
Unit - Policy Research Unit for
Children, Young People and Families
(2011- 2016)
Commissioned by Department of
Health and launched in January 2011,
this is one of seven units funded by
the DH to help provide research based
advice to inform policy funding for
up to five years. The EBPU leads the
mental health strand of work within
this unit. Current projects include
modelling repeated outcome data
over time and focussing particularly on
trajectories of change for children with
severe behavioural problems.
Increasing Access to Psychological
Therapies IAPT (2011-) – Outcomes

The EBPU is part of the expert
reference group for the IAPT initiative

such problems. CAMHS EBPU is one
of the partner agencies (along with
the Tavistock and South London and
Maudsley Trust) to provide a project
team to develop ideas as to the best
way to take forward PbR in CAMHS.
PbR involves developing systems for
categorising CAMHS processes and
outcomes to aid the development of
payment systems.
BOND – Better Outcomes New
Delivery
This is a two year collaborative project
led by YoungMinds. The aim of this
project is to build up the capacity of
Voluntary and Community Sector
Organisations (VCSOs) to deliver early
intervention mental health support for
children and young people.
CAMHS Network is a short term
funding from the Health Foundation to
help further develop capacities to share
knowledge and information building
and securing your set of connections.
Closing the Gap: Shared Decision
Making in CAMHS (2010-2012)
Commissioned by The Health Foundation
this project seeks to empower children,
young people and their families to make
informed choices and become active
partners in their treatment.
Informed Choice (2011-14)
CAMHS Payment by Results (PbR)
This project is looking at how children
with emotional, behavioural and wider
difficulties are being supported and
how much these kinds of support
might cost so that the right amount of
funding is provided for children with
July 2012
Funded by the Department of Health,
this project is a collaboration between
EBPU and YoungMinds. The project
builds on our Think-Thank and will
allow children and young people
to exercise informed choice and
control about their mental health care
through innovative use of high quality
information. The project will ensure
children and young people have access
to the most up-to-date information
to allow them to make meaningful
choices and decide on the right option
for them with their care providers.
Promoting SDM in CAMHS(2012-15)
Funded by the Department of
Health, this project will develop and
disseminate a range of free resources
and training to child mental health
professionals to help them adopt
‘Shared Decision Making’ (SDM).
These resources will be developed
with central input from service users.
Resources will include a training
manual, skills-based training events
and other information materials. The
main beneficiaries will be the young
people and their families accessing
services.
MSc Training in Evaluation of Clinical
Interventions
Andrew Fugard is Module Coordinator
for the ‘Evaluating Clinical Practice’
module. The module aims to introduce
students to the importance of
evaluating therapeutic practice and
to introduce them to the different
types of evaluation that are possible
and their relative strengths and
weaknesses. Through attending the
course, the aim is for students to have
met all the “core” CAMHS competencies
in relation to evidence-based practice.
Masterclasses (2010-2013)
CAMHS EBPU has funding from the
Department of Health to run a series of
Masterclasses aimed at developing the
skills of practitioners and managers in
terms of undertaking meaningful local
evaluation, outcomes informed and
evidence based practice and ensuring
appropriate user participation.
We have just finished our 6th set of
Masterclass which covered the latest
developments in evidence based and
outcomes informed practice in CAMHS.
Classes took place in Birmingham,
London (twice) and Manchester. Over
180 people expressed an interest in the
class with 108 attending the four classes.
The CORC Data Assistants, Harriet
and Charlotte, who attended the
Manchester Masterclass, summarised
some of the key points as follows:
“The focus of the day was on using
outcome measures as part of
collaborative and reflective practice.
There was recognition that change is
important for service development and
EBPU FON/3
that outcomes informed and evidence
based practice could be key to driving
this change in the right direction.
Moreover, it was emphasised that
change can be on an individual basis
and does not have to be incorporated
into an entire team or unit immediately.
However, it was also acknowledged that
change can be hard. “
“It was made clear that the evidence
base and outcome data should be used
as clinical tools, in collaboration with
clients, to make sure that treatment
is as effective as possible. Neither
should be used or followed blindly,
without reference to a clinician’s clinical
judgement and understanding of a
particular measure. Both also provide
useful data for reflecting on cases
and highlighting the strengths and
weaknesses of clinicians allowing for
improvement in individuals’ practice.
“Attendees were also given an
oversight of the work of CAMHS EBPU
and CORC and updates on Children and
Young People’s IAPT (Improving Access
to Psychological Therapies), Closing
the Gap: Shared Decision Making
in CAMHS and CAMHS Payment by
Results. The free new CODE Database
was also introduced and more detailed
information was provided on some
individual measures.”
The presentation from the final
Masterclass in London is now available
on our website at: http://www.ucl.

presentations/presentations.php.
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.
RECENTLY COMPLETED PROJECTS:
CODE – Child Outcomes Data
Explained (2009-2012)
Commissioned by the Department
of Health, this project was being
undertaken by CAMHS EBPU in
consultation with CORC and aimed
to create nationally accessible web
and paper based tools that will help
practitioners, commissioners, children
and young people to make real use of a
range of outcome data in a meaningful
way. We now have a CODE database
available to all the CAMHS in UK.
Currency Development (2011)
This was a successful pilot for the
Payment By Results project, evaluating
tools developed for currency allocation
within London pilot sites. It was
performed in collaboration with the
Institute of Psychiatry.
TAMHS – Targeted Mental Health in
Schools (2008-11)
This project was commissioned by
the Department for Children, Schools
and Families (now Department for
Education) to investigate the impact
of a government initiative to improve
mental health in schools and to
examine the ways schools try to help
children when they feel sad, worried
and troubled. The project has now
finished and the final report is available

CYP Think- Tank
The EBPU Children’s Think Tank
was a consultation group of young
people who help us to ensure that
our materials, research, and general
approach are accessible and young
people-friendly. It is a fun, interactive
way of hearing young people’s
opinions about the work we do
at the AFC, and it was also a great
opportunity for young people to get
involved in research and participation
themselves. The Think Tank had four
two-hour meetings held over the
course of a year and led by a few
members of the EBPU team. During
these meetings the young people took
part in a selection of games, activities
and discussions, focusing on a few
projects we were doing here at the
centre.
The final meeting took place on
Saturday 16th June with Dion and
Thurza from the EBPU team leading it.
Over the course of several meetings
Dion, Emily, Sam and Thursa dedicated
their time and expertise in devising
exciting and useful activities. We
would like to take this opportunity to
thank Ann, Abinaya, Omodele, Georgia
and Alessia for their contribution and
for taking time to participate in EBPU
Think-Tanks for 2011-12.
EBPU CYP Think Tank 2011-12
feedback from the young participants:
“It is better to listen to young people to
know new ideas from them. They can
give you a clear view of what they are
going through.” Georgia
“I have found think tank useful and I
believe that it is important to ask people
in the same age range for advice. The
experience as a whole has been fun and
interesting” Abinaya
“I have found the think tank to be an
interesting experience. Through the T.T
I have been able to understand what
the purpose of the Think Tank and CORC
is. I have also learnt much more about
children and young people. Thanks!”
Ann
“I think that the Think Tank is a helpful
and interesting way to find out more
about young people. Also bringing
children to the building to help out
was a good idea. Including food in this
has really helped me to come back.”
Omodele
“I’ve found out that Think Tank is really
fun and good to socialise with other
people. It is good that you’re asking
the opinions of kids as it is kids you’re
helping. I think you have asked us all
the obvious questions which is a good
thing! But maybe you could have asked
more questions that really dug in
because most of this was just about the
outside, so yeah, you could have gone a
bit further.” Alessia

THE UPDATE FROM THE DIRECTOR
The challenges and opportunities in establishing a
new network
Dr Miranda Wolpert is a Director of the Child and Adolescent Mental
Health Services (CAMHS) Evidence Based practice Unit (EBPU) and
CAMHS Outcomes Research Consortium (CORC). She is a clinical
psychologist by background and worked for many years in the NHS
and in school settings before founding EBPU in 2006.
The interview with Miranda was conducted by Susannah Randall of the
Health Foundation. The interview took place on June 2012. Miranda
talks about the challenges and opportunities in establishing a new network.
The network Miranda is working on
with The Health Foundation is in its first
stages of development. However, she
has experience in bringing together
communities of people with shared
interests as Chair of the CAMHS
Outcome Research Consortium (CORC),
a collaboration of over half of all child
and adolescent mental health services
in England committed to using routine
outcome evaluation to inform practice
and service development.
About the network
We are looking at how to formalise the
collaboration between those involved
in child mental health services. Our
particular interest is on those who are
innovating: frontline practitioners,
commissioners, services managers.
Through the training we run (at CAMHS
EBPU) there is already an informal
community in loose contact out there.
The question is how can we get people
to see themselves as a collaborative
network? What are the shared values
or views that could bring them
together? This is a group of people that
are feeling particularly battered and
ground down at the moment. We want
to link them up with other like-minded
souls.
and a central group, or
individual, committed to
running the network. Without
that it just doesn’t work.
You have to be able to
meet face to face at some
intervals, and you’ll need to
demonstrate some evidence of
progress to both the network
members and externally. A
delicate tightrope to walk is
finding the balance between
top down and bottom up. It’s
no good having one person
dictating and others doing the
bidding. Neither does it work
to have everyone debating by
committee and no decisions
made. That almost needs
negotiating on a daily basis
but when it works I find it very
exciting. If the balance is right
then there is a real energy and
creative buzz to it. It you allow
people the space to come up
with the answers to problems
they do.
And where it can go pear-shaped
This much I know about running a successful
network
It doesn’t work to try to be all
things to all people; that’s why
we’re spending time working
out the particular niche and
direction for this new network.
You need a strong common purpose
You have to be rigorous about

not allowing people with their own agendas to
take over and there has to be a small team with
some resource at the core. This means that you
need a champion with validity for your network
members. They don’t have to be full time but,
for example, if your network is for clinicians they
will want to know that there is someone who
EBPU FON/5
has ‘walked it themselves’ involved.
Forget the need for administrative
support at your peril because if you
don’t have it, it doesn’t happen. There
needs to be someone to answer emails,
check the website and database is up
to date and facilitate events. Long
term that can’t be the champion, they
will burn themselves out.
Our work with The Health Foundation
We have found the bespoke support
from Faculty members very useful in
helping to clarify our purpose. We’re
still debating the most appropriate
common focus for this network.
Is it shared decision-making or
collaborative practice? I don’t want to
reinvent it if someone else is already
doing it.
They have encouraged us to have
a tight audience focus – so looking
at those innovators who lie at the
far left of the adoption curve. And
we’re spending time exploring the
different platforms available for us to
communicate with – Facebook, Linked
In – some guidance around how to use
those and we’ve already got testing
underway.
The tailored help from the Faculty
works; it is totally relevant for our
context.
Some tips on setting up a network:
• You’re going to go down a lot of
blind alleys and that’s OK. It’s good
to model failure and to show that it’s
not a big deal
Academic Papers
Staff at EBPU and CORC have had a
paper published and one accepted for
publication. The Journal of Mental
Health has published a paper by
Miranda, Andy, Jess and colleagues
entitled ‘Patient-reported outcomes
in child and adolescent mental
health services: Use of idiographic
and standardized measures.’ The
paper looks at emerging findings
from standardized and idiographic
child-, parent- and clinician- rated
outcomes in CAMHS and considers
their correlations. For those interested
in reading this, the full reference is:

Based on an impressive in-depth
survey of 25,000 children carried out
by the EU Kids Online network, it

previous research and counter both
the optimistic and the pessimistic

children are gaining the digital
skills, coping strategies and social
support they need to navigate this
fast-changing terrain.
• Resist being over-ambitious. Be very
clear about what is needed from
your network
• It’s the people that matter, not the
perfect website so don’t put too
much faith in technology
• Communicate, communicate,
communicate. People will come
in and out of the network, their
attention will peak and wane, they
will forget things. You cannot
communicate enough.

CORC CORNER
The CAMHS Outcomes Research Consortium (CORC) is a collaboration
between child and adolescent mental health services (CAMHS) staff
across the UK with the aim of instituting a common model of routine
outcome evaluation and analysing the data derived. Over half of
all CAMHS staff in England are now members, with members also
in Scotland, Wales, Norway and Sweden. There are now over 70
collaborating services within the consortium.
CORC Recent Events
The last Implementer’s Meeting was held in February and was well
attended with positive feedback from attendees.
The last Member’s Forum took place on Wednesday 25th April 2012 with
the theme of “User Participation and Commissioning.” Around 50 people
joined the central team for the day and feedback for the day as a whole was
largely positive. Related to the theme of the day presentations were given
on: an update from the CORC central team; involving young people in the
implementation of CORC in Devon CAMHS; Routine Outcome Monitoring
use in CAMHS and diabetic settings from the point of view of young people;
the latest research findings from CORC; and the experiences of introducing
outcome measures to the commissioning approach in Camden CAMHS. The
day also included training sessions on the CODE and COMMIT databases. The
next CORC Member’s Forum is 21st November in London.
