Effectively delivering thinking, practice and research in collaboration with the Anna Freud Centre
The Anna Freud National Centre for Children and Families (AFNCCF) has been developing and delivering pioneering mental health care for over 60 years. They are leading the way by campaigning for and creating mental health services built around the needs and experiences of children, young people and their families and not around the institutions who deliver them.
As part of the learning partnership with the Anna Freud National Centre for Children and Families and the Evidence Based Practice Unit (EBPU), CORC are able to mobilise their resources and expertise to effectively deliver the thinking, practice and research to help provide children and young people and families with the right support in a collaborative and innovative way.
CORC is keen to involve young people more in deciding how we measure young people's mental health and wellbeing. Therefore, we work closely with Young Champions from the Anna Freud Centre to develop video resources to address the issues and questions they have been raising with us regarding the use of outcome and experience measures. We want these videos to be used by other young people, practitioners and researchers. The videos aim to help:
- connect outcome measures to real life impact
- help young people and families to understand what they are and why they are useful
- support CORC members and practitioners to use measures in a way that is meaningful to and valued by young people
- empower young people to feel that they can ask questions about/give feedback on outcome measures.
