CAMHS
Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS)The principles of NWW can be applied to CAMHS: NWW has been a major workforce initiative since 2003. It is acknowledged that many CAMHS were already using these principles before 2003. New Ways of Working is about enabling all workers to be flexible:
It is about having children and families at the centre of every aspect of care. What does NWW mean for CAMHS?NWW is about making the best use of the current workforce, enhancing job satisfaction, providing career development for the services’ most important asset – the staff – and ensuring services meet the needs of children, young people and families/carers. NWW will allow experienced staff to extend their practice and provide opportunities for new people to come into the workforce at various levels. NWW in CAMHS recognises that we need to concentrate on how we develop our staff to ensure that we provide the mix of skill and capabilities required to meet identified needs. Depending on local circumstances, the solutions will vary. If we are to truly move towards the development of comprehensive CAMHS services, there will be an ongoing need to explore NWW as part of a modern workforce.
