Our research led us to create a co-produced, evidence-based model of what services should look like.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text: Our model – RHS” _builder_version=”3.17.6″]<\/p>\n

The model consists of two main elements: the core characteristics a service requires to be considered a high-quality service, and the necessary underpinning characteristics than cut across these core characteristics.<\/p>\n

Our model identifies the key components of high-quality services such as how quickly children, young people and families can access a service, the information available, the importance of confidentiality and whether staff make the service fit with the child or young person\u2019s needs and interests.<\/p>\n

It also considers whether the service helps children and young people learn skills to manage their mental health and whether staff at a service work well together.<\/p>\n

We hope our model will help those who commission and run services improve what they offer to children, young people and families, regardless of whether the service is an NHS or non-NHS service.<\/p>\n

Model Development<\/h3>\n

This paper outlines how a co-produced, evidence based, general model of service design for CYP experiencing common mental health problems was developed via a mixed-methods study that encompassed an evidence synthesis, primary research and a model building phase:<\/p>\n
