Contract One: 2001 - 2004
In the first contract, run by Dr Sally Merry, the brief was to undertake a range of activities which supported the education and training of the specialist child and adolescent mental health workforce, including an analysis of relevant workforce needs, the determination of appropriate education and training goals, the delivery of education and training, and monitoring and evaluating the impact of training and unmet training needs. This led to a number of publications, please click here to view these resources.
Work on this contract highlighted some critical deficiencies in training in child and adolescent mental health and work was started to address some of these deficiencies. A framework for the national delivery of postgraduate training in child and adolescent mental health was established and training is now available across the country, please click here to view information on the postgraduate courses. An active continuing education programme with workshops held in different centres around the country was also established.
At the end of 2004, Dr Sally Merry completed the first contract and handed the workforce development programme over to Sue Treanor, a clinical psychologist. Sue Treanor now leads the workforce development team.
