Young Commissioners Programme to shape CAMHS across Wandsworth CCG

Tender description

NHS Wandsworth Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) is seeking proposals from suitably experienced providers to establish and run a new service to support a Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS) Young Commissioners Programme. It is intended that the Young Commissioners Programme (YCP) will develop a range of participatory activities that will support multiple opportunities for young people to feedback and to get involved in shaping and improving services. They will do this on a formalised and rolling basis, so that there are always new and fresh opportunities for young people to help shape services. They will draw upon good practice with regards to co-production that exists elsewhere in London The YCP will directly contribute toward the achievement of key outcomes including an increased proportion of young people reporting a good or better experience of CAMHS services and also in their experience of transition from CAMHS to Adult Mental Health Services. Investment for the YCP has been secure for 2 years hence the contract being offered is for 2 years, but with the CCG reserving the right to extend this for up to a further 2 years (potentially up to 4 years in total).
