11 PART C: Supplementary Countersigned Self-statements CRITERIA & GUIDELINES FOR PWP ACCREDITATION Route B applicants must provide supplementary evidence of meeting some of the essential core learning objectives as specified in the IAPT PWP National Curriculum for Modules 3 and 4, relating to: Module 3: Values, Policy, Culture & Diversity. Module 4: Working within an Employment, Social and Healthcare Context. Countersigned Self-statements must be provided that demonstrate how you have met the learning outcomes, including the acquisition of your knowledge and skills, and their application within your working role by giving an illustrative example for each section. See Guidelines for PWP Accreditation for details of information required, and examples. Countersigned Self-Statement One Module 3: Values, Policy, Culture & Diversity Learning Outcome Describe how you have acquired knowledge, skills and experience of working with individual difference, diversity, non-discriminatory equal opportunities, and respect for the values of individuals engaging in mental health care provision Provide an illustrative example that demonstrates your respect for individual differences in age, sexuality, disability, gender, spirituality, race and culture, and show that these differences are valued Provide an illustrative example that demonstrates your knowledge of and competence in responding to people s needs sensitively with regard to all aspects of diversity, including the use of translation services Provide an illustrative example that demonstrates your knowledge of and competence in working with Interpreters. Your Self-statement During year two of my Psychology BSc course (2002-5), I studied a module Personality and Social Psychology. We specifically explored cultural and religious differences and their influence on an individual s personality I completed a 1 year Counselling Skills Certificate training in 2006, where there was much emphasis on developing understanding of and respect for diversity. I completed a 1000 word written assignment on diversity in respect of sexuality and sexual identity During my GMHW training course, I undertook the modules Caring for People in Primary Care, and Race, Culture and Wellbeing, where understanding and valuing difference were explored During my working experience in my GMHW role and within my PWP role (2007- date), there has been emphasis on ensuring that access to services has had significance, meaning that it has been necessary to work both individually and creatively in ensuring respect for difference, and ensuring equal opportunity for all I am aware of the Reach Out materials and have used the websites cited in this document. Before working in NAMED TOWN in my PWP role, I had rarely worked with anyone from the Bangladeshi community. I started to work with a patient who had Bangladesh origins, and who s anxiety was predominantly about cultural difference and being torn between retaining cultural origins and fitting in with his UK environment. I ensured that I was both honest about my lack of knowledge about his dilemma, and respectful of the beliefs he held. I asked him to signpost me to literature that would aid my understanding, and as well as exploring this with the patient, I made use of supervision to ensure I was self-aware in terms of any bias or personal values that might inadvertently influence my clinical work with the patient. I leant about many complexities with this patient, including how his religious beliefs had previously been a cause for difficulties in country of origin, which I would not have even considered had I not been both honest about my lack of knowledge, and inquisitive about the patient s individual experiences I have recently been able to apply the skills I leant from my working with translation services training and I applied this to a risk assessment with a lady who presented in crisis. By being aware of the triadic relationship, the need to use short statements and questions I was able to make sure vital information on risk wasn t missed. This involved having to explain to the interpreter that long discussions between the client and interpreter may lead to missing information. Myself, the patient, and the interpreter were able to collaboratively develop a method of working that suited the patient so that she felt understood. I attended a one day mandatory in-house workshop provided by a Service Manager with expertise in working with interpreters, this included an examination of triadic relationship. It also explored the need to use shorter statements and questions. I learnt that I should avoid speaking in the third person and educate myself about racial and cultural issues. V

12 Provide an illustrative example that demonstrates your knowledge of and a commitment to equal opportunities for all and encouraging people s active participation in every aspect of care and treatment. Take into account any physical and sensory difficulties clients may experience in accessing services and if required how you refer to appropriate services During my treatment of a lady who was partially sighted and was experiencing anxiety, I was able to provide self help information in larger print size due to her eyesight difficulties. This was particularly significant, not only in terms of ensuring equal opportunities, but because her anxiety about engaging in services was fuelled by her worries about being able to access our services due to her problems with sight. She was then able to complete our PWP intervention. We also used computerised CBT self help as she was able to use her own computer which made reading the information easier.

13 Countersigned Self-Statement Two Module 4: Working within an Employment, Social and Healthcare Context Learning Outcome Describe how you have acquired knowledge, skills and experience to appreciate and critically evaluate a range of employment, occupational and well-being strategies to help patients manage their emotional distress and disturbance Provide an illustrative example that demonstrates knowledge of and competence in liaison with and signposting to other agencies delivering employment, occupational and other advice and services Your Self-statement During my GMHW training (2007-9), I had a placement within secondary care where I learnt about local occupational health services and CAB. In addition, I attended a full day training delivered by the local Condition Management Programme which provided information on resources for patients who are considering a return to employment. During my work as a PWP (2009-date), our team of PWPs has received various information training sessions from DWP and other disability and employment related agencies so that we can understand what resources are available to our patients who require guidance and assistance relating to employment, occupation and education needs. I have been able to signpost clients to these a variety of support services in my role as PWP. During my treatment of a self-employed gentleman who had mobility issues and depression due to arthritis, we established together that there were factors associated with his pain when working that contributed to his depression, and that being able to continue to work was highly important to his wellbeing. I was able to refer him to the DWP website and inform him of the access to work scheme. He used this information and received an assessment by them and they provided him with a workplace ergonomic assessment, and financial support to buy a more suitable chair for his desk. My patient reflected that this advice has greatly improved his ability to work as he was in less pain when sitting, and his worries about being unable to work were reduced, which gave him a more positive focus about his future Referee Attesting to Self-statement Note to Referee: By signing you are confirming that the applicant s Self-statement (above) is true Referee Name Sarah Cook Position / Job Title Senior Occupational Therapist Address sarah.cook@anytrust.nhs.net Telephone Number Professional Relationship to Applicant Additional Referee Comments Referee Signature Date Previous Clinical Supervisor during placement in Occupational Therapy department, as part of GMHW training, May 2008 January 2009 I confirm that Fred has attended various in-house trainings which focussed on developing knowledge of local services and agencies relating to employment, occupational issues, and education.

As a member of the BABCP you are required to make sure that you are familiar with the standards and that you keep to them. If you are applying for membership or Accreditation as a CBT practitioner, trainer or supervisor, you will be asked to sign a declaration to confirm that you have read and will keep to the standards. 2. It is important that you meet BABCP standards and are able to practise CBT safely and effectively. We also want to make sure that you maintain high standards of personal conduct and do not do anything which might affect the public s confidence in you, the BABCP or any profession to which you may belong. However, we do not dictate how you should meet our standards. Each standard can normally be met in more than one way. The way in which you meet our standards might change over time because of improvements in technology or changes in your practice. As an autonomous and accountable professional, you need to make informed and reasonable decisions about your practice to make sure that you meet the standards that are relevant to your practice. This might include getting advice and support from education providers, employers, your clinical supervisor, colleagues and other people to make sure that you protect the wellbeing of service users at all times. Many BABCP members are also members of other professional bodies and will therefore be bound by codes of practice of those professions. BABCP recognises the valuable role other professional bodies play in representing and promoting the interests of their members. This often includes providing guidance and advice about good practice, which can help you meet their standards and those in this document. 3. It is expected that all members of BABCP approach their work with the aim of resolving problems and promoting the well-being of service users and will endeavour to use their ability and skills to service users best advantage without prejudice and with due recognition of the value and dignity of every human being. If you make informed, reasonable and professional judgements about your practice, with the best interests of your service users as your prime concern, and you can justify your decisions if you are asked to, it is very likely that you will meet our standards. By informed, we mean that you have enough information to make a decision. This would include reading these standards and taking account of any other relevant guidance or laws. By reasonable, we mean that you need to make sensible, practical decisions about your practice, taking account of all relevant information and the best interests of the people who use or are affected by your services. You should also be able to justify your decisions if you are asked to. 4. Throughout these standards, we have used the term service user to refer to anyone who uses or is affected by a member s services. Who your service users are will depend on how and where you work. For example, if you work in clinical practice, your service users might be your patients/clients. In some circumstances, your service users might be organisations rather than individuals. The term also includes other people who might be affected by your practice, such as carers and relatives. We have used the word treatment in its broadest sense to include a number of actions members carry out. These actions could include diagnostic, monitoring or assessment procedures, therapy or advice.
