The Association of Chief Executives of Voluntary Organisations (ACEVO) in partnership with Neil Coulson Associates have developed a seven stage toolkit to support charities through the process of collaboration, from formation to consolidation and expansion.
The toolkit also contains advice for charities in existing consortia, including on quality assurance, contarct delivery and maintaining reputation.
The National CAMHS Support Service (NCSS) have developed a Tackling Stigma Toolkit which will be officially launched at the NCSS National Young People’s Participation Conference in Leicester on 28 October. The toolkit has been developed from the Tackling Stigma Framework, designed by Dr Fiona Warner-Gale (2006).
The Tackling Stigma Toolkit is for all professionals, partnerships and organisations who commission and provide children’s and young people’s mental health services. It aids the development of a planned and informed approach to tackling the stigma of children’s and young people’s mental health problems.
Ecorys in partnership with CAMHS Evidence Based practise Unit (CAMHS EBPU) evaluated use of the Tackling Stigma Framework across the six pilot areas where it was initially implemented. The evaluation found that the framework has been beneficial in changing children’s and young people’s beliefs about mental health and stigma.
