        "description": "The Specialist Inpatient Peer Support Worker (PSW) Programme is for the West Midlands CAMHS Provider Collaborative (WMCPC). The programme is for Children and Young people who are admitted to a Tier 4 inpatient unit aged 13-17 years (inclusive).<br/><br/>NHSE recognises peer support as a supported self-management intervention. It happens when people with similar long-term conditions, or health experiences, come together to support each other – either on a one-to-one or group basis. It is enabled through relationships that build mutual acceptance and understanding. Peer support is a valuable resource for people and their families and carers; empowering them to take ownership of, and have more control over, their health and wellbeing. It enables people to develop the knowledge, skills and confidence to self-manage and address other issues that might be affecting their health, such as loneliness or self-esteem. The power of peer support lies in connecting people with shared experience to create an encouraging, inspiring, and safe space. This personalised, holistic support focuses on wellbeing and understanding lived experience, rather than clinical interventions.<br/>This peer support service, majoratively delivered within CAMHS inpatient settings aims to:<br/>•<br/>Contribute to a reduction in length of admission by increasing a young persons level of engagement in their treatment plan, promoting recovery and a positive experience of discharge.<br/>•<br/>Deliver patient-centred, trauma-informed, psychologically informed support, via the PSW approach.<br/>•<br/>Deliver supportive care and mentorship to young people with a focus on relationship building during their inpatient stay.<br/><br/>Desired Outcomes:<br/><br/>• Improved experience of the inpatient journey because of the peer support intervention.<br/>• PSW, through their own lived experience, to inspire hope and belief that recovery is possible.<br/>• Reducing the risk of a young person's care and identity becoming institutionalised.<br/>• To contribute to the improved experience of reintegration into the community and being ‘community ready’ working towards recovery.<br/>• An increase in young people's understanding of their emotional dysregulation through education provided by the PSW.<br/><br/>Award Criteria:<br/>Basic Selection Criteria – Pass/Fail or For Information only<br/>Quality and Innovation – 33.00%<br/>Value – Pass/Fail<br/>Integration, Collaboration and Service Sustainability – 30.00%<br/>Improving Access, Reducing Health Inequalities and Facilitating Choice – 12.00%<br/>Social Value – 10.00%<br/>Unseen Presentation - 15.00%<br/><br/>The evaluation process covers a number of discrete stages which are outlined in Document 1 at 27.2.1. Evaluators will score answers for each question as either pass or fail or using a scale of 0-5 (where 0 is unacceptable and 5 is excellent) for scored questions as above and detailed within Document 1 at 27.3.2. Evaluations will be carried out by a panel made up of representatives (“evaluators”) from Commissioners and their advisors.
