The 10 Essential Shared Capabilities for Mental Health Practice NHS – Education for Scotland The 10 Essential Shared Capabilities for Mental Health Practice Welcome! Facilitators’ Toolkit

What are the 10 Essential Shared Capabilities (ESCs)? NHS – Education for Scotland What are the 10 Essential Shared Capabilities (ESCs)? Working in partnership. Respecting diversity. Practising ethically. Challenging inequality. Promoting recovery. Identifying people’s needs and strengths. Providing service user-centre care. Making a difference. Promoting safety and positive risk taking. Personal development and learning. The 10 ESC’s: attitudes, behaviours, expectations and relationships; describing the values and principles that should be demonstrated in the way mental health services are commissioned, planned and delivered; deriving from and reflecting how people who use mental health services and those who support them want to be treated, and the way they expect to be treated; outlining values and principles that should influence the actions and outcomes people working in mental health services should be seeking, with and on behalf of people using mental health and social care services. Facilitators’ Toolkit

NHS – Education for Scotland Why Are We Here? To support cultural change. To promote rights-based, recovery focused practice. To become action focused. To develop knowledge, skills & attitude. Pilot learning materials for the ESCs were developed and evaluated with more than 600 people from a wide range of roles and settings in England. The materials were very positively evaluated and, importantly, people said they made a positive difference to their practice. On the basis of this evaluation and a review of the materials, we have further developed the original materials for use in Scotland. Facilitators’ Toolkit

Rights, Relationships and Recovery Culture and Values NHS – Education for Scotland Rights, Relationships and Recovery Culture and Values - All MH nurses have access to values based training. - Embed values based practice in personal development plans. - Use recovery audit tools. - Train in Recovery methods. - Help maximise contact time. This slide and the next two slides are taken from the Progress Report published in July 2007. The 10 ESCs! Scottish Government MH Delivery and Services Unit and SRN are producing the Scottish Recovery Indicator and will pilot this year. A National Framework for recovery training is being developed. NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde have implemented recovery based models in some services. NHS Border, Forth Valley, Fife, Lothian and Lanarkshire are redesigning services. Other boards waiting for training materials and audit tool. Nursing staff are considering WRAP (Wellness Recovery Action Plan) training. Facilitators’ Toolkit

Rights, Relationships and Recovery NHS – Education for Scotland Rights, Relationships and Recovery Practice and Services Create national CPD Programme. Develop recovery models for inpatient units. Promote continuity of Care. Develop practice networks. Develop competency based framework. Support nurses to deliver therapies. Create nurse consultants. National conference held. Options being considered. A capability framework in acute and crisis care is out for consultation. Several Boards are using or considering the TIDAL model. Access to training in psychosocial and psychological therapies is extremely variable. Some training in Borders and Forth Valley. NHS Dumfries and Galloway are at the planning stage. Nurse consultant posts agreed in Greater Glasgow and Clyde (eating disorders). Ayrshire and Arran (psychosocial/psychological interventions). Generally progress is slow. It would seem that barriers are being put in front of nurses once they have trained to become prescribers. Facilitators’ Toolkit

Rights, Relationships and Recovery NHS – Education for Scotland Rights, Relationships and Recovery Education and development Attract the right people. Opportunities to develop and learn. Involve users and carers in programme design. Develop role of Health care Support Workers. Nursing leaders. More research and Evaluation. Develop robust learning climate. NES facilitating national framework for pre-registration MH nursing programmes. NES also working on an education and training framework for mental health support workers. ‘Flying Start’ a web based programme was launched in 2005 for newly qualified nurses. A number of Boards provide access to leadership courses – often confined to senior staff. The quality of clinical supervision is variable. Links established with universities to help foster research and learning. Facilitators’ Toolkit

NHS – Education for Scotland MODULE 2 10 Essential Shared Capabilities (ESCs) Facilitators’ Toolkit

10 Essential Shared Capabilities (ESCs) NHS – Education for Scotland 10 Essential Shared Capabilities (ESCs) Working in partnership. Respecting diversity. Practising ethically. Challenging inequality. Promoting recovery. Identifying people’s needs and strengths. Providing service user-centre care. Making a difference. Promoting safety and positive risk taking. Personal development and learning. The 10 ESC’s: On a surface reading, all capabilities will probably seem sensible and may reflect your current attitude and practice. Reflecting on yourself, your role and your practice in relation to the ESCs can be challenging, but it will provide you with a greater insight into mental health work and enable you to explore and reflect on the basis of mental health care. We use the word ‘care’ here in its fullest sense, not in a narrow service or professional definition. Facilitators’ Toolkit

NHS – Education for Scotland Learning outcomes Describe the 10 ESCs and how they relate to mental health. Reflect on yourself and your practice in relation to the ESCs. Understand how the ESCs relate to and support the delivery of mental health policy and legislation in mental health practice in Scotland. Start to think about further developing your practice in line with the ESCs and recognise how they can help you to improve your experience of mental health work and the experiences of the people you work with. Facilitators’ Toolkit

Working in Partnership NHS – Education for Scotland Working in Partnership Value service users as equal in their care and treatment. Acknowledge the positive part families, friends and carers can play in the service user’s support network. Engage people as partners in care in a way that maximises their role in decision making and making choices. It also involves working positively with any tensions created by conflicts of interest or aspiration that may arise between partners in care. One of the principles of the Mental Health (Care and Treatment) (Scotland) Act 2003 is ‘participation’, which is closely linked to the idea of partnership (the principles are explored in more detail later in the module). Facilitators’ Toolkit

NHS – Education for Scotland Respecting Diversity Practice and Services Respecting diversity is about working in partnership with service users, carers, families and colleagues to provide care and interventions that not only make a positive difference, but also do so in ways that respect and value diversity, including age, race, culture, disability, gender, spirituality and sexuality. NB The ‘Fair for All’ document and the principles of the Mental Health (Care and Treatment) (Scotland) Act 2003 Facilitators’ Toolkit

NHS – Education for Scotland Practising Ethically Practising ethically involves the rights and aspirations of service users and their families and carers, acknowledging power differentials and minimising them whenever possible. It also focuses on providing care and treatment that is accountable to service users and carers within the boundaries prescribed by law and professional, national and local codes of ethical practice. The law – the Mental Health (Care and Treatment) (Scotland) Act 2003 and other relevant pieces of legislation. Codes for professional groups like nurses and social workers, such as the Nursing and Midwifery Council Code of Conduct. Policy, such as Delivering for Mental Health (SEHD, 2006). Professional values statements, including those set out in Rights, Relationships and Recovery – the Report of the National Review of Mental Health Nursing in Scotland (SEHD, 2006). Importantly, our own individual values and beliefs. Facilitators’ Toolkit

Challenging Inequality NHS – Education for Scotland Challenging Inequality Challenging inequality involves addressing the causes and consequences of stigma, discrimination, social inequality and exclusion on service users, carers and mental health services. It also focuses on creating, developing or maintaining valued social roles for people in the communities in which they live. The ‘See Me’ campaign is run by an alliance of five Scottish mental health organisations: Highland Users Group (HUG) The National Schizophrenia Fellowship (Scotland) Penumbra The Royal College of Psychiatrists (Scottish Division) Scottish Association for Mental Health. Facilitators’ Toolkit

A Scottish Government survey (SEHD, 2006) showed that: NHS – Education for Scotland A Scottish Government survey (SEHD, 2006) showed that: Half of the respondents said they would not want anybody to know if they developed a mental health problem. Most people in the survey said they thought the media portrayed people with mental health problems negatively. Facilitators’ Toolkit

More research findings NHS – Education for Scotland More research findings 41% of people with mental health problems living in Scottish communities have experienced harassment, compared with 15% of the general public. A 2001 study found that only 37% of employers said they would in future take on people with mental illness, compared to 62% who would take on physically disabled people, 78% who would employ long-term unemployed people, and 88% who would appoint lone parents. 64% of young people say they would be embarrassed to disclose a mental health problem to a prospective employer. Facilitators’ Toolkit

NHS – Education for Scotland Promoting Recovery Promoting recovery involves working in partnership to provide care and treatment that enables service users and carers to tackle mental health problems with hope and optimism and to work towards a valued lifestyle within and beyond the limits of any mental health problem. People can and do recover from mental health problems. Recovery is a common human experience. Recovery is a process or journey, rather than an end point. The concept of ‘recovery’ encompasses more than just recovery from illness or an absence of symptoms. Facilitators’ Toolkit

It’s Important to note what recovery doesn’t mean. It is not: Cure. Something mental health workers ‘do’ to people. A new word for ‘rehabilitation’. A model. ‘Something we have always been doing anyway.’

The keys to working in a recovery-focused way include: HOPE, one of the most important factors in recovery. A belief in recovery. Holding and demonstrating values and practices that reflect this belief. Taking what people can do and want (their strengths) as a starting point. Developing care so that service users can increase their role in directing their own care and treatment. Creativity and positive risk taking. The use of tools such as person-centred planning, strengths-based approaches and wellness recovery action planning.

Identifying Peoples Needs and Strengths NHS – Education for Scotland Identifying Peoples Needs and Strengths Identifying people’s needs and strengths involves working in partnership to gather information to agree health and social care needs in the context of the preferred lifestyles and aspirations of service users, their families, carers and friends. Carry out (or contribute to ) assessments that focus on the strengths and needs of the person using services and the family, friends and carers who support them. Work in a way that acknowledges the personal, social, cultural and spiritual strengths and needs of the person. Work in partnership with the people’s network to collect information to assist understanding of the person and his or her strengths and needs. Facilitators’ Toolkit

Providing Service User-Centred Care Providing service user-centred care involves negotiating achievable and meaningful goals, primarily from the perspective of service users and their families and carers. It also involves influencing and seeking the means to achieve these goals and clarifying the responsibilities of people who will provide help, including systematically evaluating outcomes and achievements.

‘Most helpful strategies and supports’ NHS – Education for Scotland ‘Most helpful strategies and supports’ Friends, partners, family. Other service users/people with similar problems. Mental health professionals. Counsellors/therapists. People encountered in day centres, drop-ins, voluntary sector projects. The ‘ Strategies for Living’ Team at the Mental Health Foundation asked service users to identify anybody, or anything they had found helpful or supportive at a time in their life when they were distress. This was to identify service users’ strategies for living with mental distress (Faulkner and Layzell, 2000).. Facilitators’ Toolkit

Strategies Personal strategies Peace of mind. Thinking positively, taking control. Medication. Physical exercise. Religious and spiritual beliefs. Money. Other activities Hobbies and interests. Information. Home. Creative expression.

NHS – Education for Scotland Making a Difference Making a difference involves facilitating access to and delivering the best quality, evidence-based, values-based health and social care interventions to meet the needs and aspirations of service users and their families and carers. What evidence should be informing practice? Basically, we are looking at: Clinical guidelines. Best practice statements. Integrated care pathways. Importantly, the lived experience of people whom have experienced mental health problems and mental health services and the experiences of their families and carers. Facilitators’ Toolkit

Promoting Safety and Positive Risk Taking NHS – Education for Scotland Promoting Safety and Positive Risk Taking Promoting safety and positive risk taking involves working with people to decide the level of risk they are prepared to take with their health and safety. It encompasses working with the tension between promoting safety and supporting positive risk taking, including assessing and dealing with possible risks for service users, carers, family members and the wider public. Positive risk taking is not about neglecting risks and compromising people’s safety. Rather it involves weighing up the potential benefits and harms of exercising one choice of action over another. Developing plans and actions that reflect the positive potentials and stated priorities of the service user. Using available resources and support to achieve the desired outcomes and to minimise potential harmful outcomes. Facilitators’ Toolkit

NHS – Education for Scotland Perkins (2007) points out that often mental health professionals feel that their job is to protect the people they work with – protect them not only from physical harm, but also from failure. But if any of us are to do the things we want to do, we have to risk the possibility of being unsuccessful. None of us would have friends or partners if we had not risked the possibility of being rebuffed or rejected. None of us would have qualifications if we had not risked the possibility of failing our examinations. None of use would have jobs if we had not risked the possibility of being turned down. Facilitators’ Toolkit

The Factors that need to be in place for Positive Risk Taking to Take place Having enough information to exercise choices and make decisions. Holding some control over the direction of your destiny. Having a degree of power and control. Being able to work with others positively to inform your decisions. Having options to make constructive use of opportunities.

It should become part of the culture of training Adequate resources to enable creative work. Limiting the duration of the decision. Having team and service mechanisms. Individual and collective accountability and responsibility is clearly defined. The ‘organisation’ also holds responsibilities.

Personal development and learning NHS – Education for Scotland Personal development and learning Personal development and learning involves keeping up to date with changes in practice and participating in lifelong learning and personal and professional development opportunities for self and colleagues through supervision, appraisal and reflective practice. Keeping up to date with changes in the way services are delivered. Taking part in learning throughout your life. Making sure you (and the people you work with) get advice and support through supervision, regular reviews of progress and opportunities to think about the way things are done. Access to education and training opportunities. A personal/professional development plan that takes account of your hopes and aspirations and is reviewed regularly. To understand the responsibilities of the service in supporting you in meeting goals set out in the development plan. To understand your personal responsibility to achieve the goals set out in your development plan. To recognise the importance of supervision and reflective practice and integrate both into everyday practice. To b proactive in seeking opportunities for personal supervision and personal development and learning. Facilitators’ Toolkit

NHS – Education for Scotland MODULE 3 Involving service users and carers Facilitators’ Toolkit

Learning Outcomes After completing the module you will be able to: Describe the links between service user involvement, carer involvement and the 10 ESCs. Discuss service user and carer involvement at individual, organisational and strategic levels. Explore local approaches to increasing service user and carer involvement. Present ideas on how this improved approach can be achieved

NHS – Education for Scotland Policy, Legislation and local strategies related to service user and carer involvement  Changing Lives Implementation Plan (SEHD, 2006) Framework for Mental Health Services (Scottish Office, 1997) Delivering for Mental Health (SEHD, 2006) Community Care and Health (Scotland) Act 2003 The Mental Health (Care and Treatment) (Scotland Act 2003) Voices of experience (VOX) Policy developments in Scotland since devolution have encouraged public sector bodies to be more accountable to service users and carers. NHS boards have a legal duty to involve the public in planning services. Mental health services have been required to involve service users and their carers since the production of the Framework for Mental Health Services (Scottish Office, 1997) This is reflected in the national plan for mental health service improvement, Delivering for Mental Health. Carers’ rights are identified in the Community Care and Health (Scotland) Act 2002. These include rights to carers’ assessments, that carers be treated as partners in care by professionals and a duty on NHS boards to develop a carers’ information strategy. The Mental Health (Care and Treatment) (Scotland) Act 2003 – puts service users and their carers at the centre of the mental health care and treatment system. A new national service user organisation called Voices of eXperience (VOX) has been formed to deliver improvements in people’s experience of service. Facilitators’ Toolkit

NHS – Education for Scotland Levels of Involvement Individual Organisational Strategic Involving individuals in their care and treatment in ways that meet their needs, give them choices and engage them in all steps of the process. Equally, carers want to be recognised, listened to and supported as partners in providing care. Organisational involvement can mean quite practical, hands-on, joint work involving service providers and service users and carers. Often strategic involvement is about influencing service commissioners, multi-agency planning partnerships and committees (such as Community Planning Partnerships) and local funding bodies. Facilitators’ Toolkit

Developing People’s Confidences Listening to their needs and aspirations. Providing information. Working to develop constructive relationships with people. Basing assessments and plans on individuals’ strengths. Including people in planning.

NHS – Education for Scotland “ Writing an advance statement has made me feel that I have taken control of my care and treatment. I feel more empowered and the whole process has given me an opportunity to think through my mental health history and what works for me” An example of personal involvement can be found in making an Advance Statement (as recognised by the Mental Health Act), which is an agreement on what happens if the person becomes unwell. Facilitators’ Toolkit

Core components of effective service-user involvement NHS – Education for Scotland Core components of effective service-user involvement It is essential to involve people in assessment, reviews and discussion making around their care, support and treatment. Having the information they need to be involved. Knowing what options and choices are available to them. Feeling free to express views and wishes. Being listened to and understood and having their views respected. Being able to influence what happens and make decisions that matter. Facilitators’ Toolkit

Barriers to Service User and Carer Involvement NHS – Education for Scotland Barriers to Service User and Carer Involvement Individual Serviced-related Societal People lose hope and confidence through their period of mental health. Losing touch with friends, relatives and communities they may feel excluded. Some service users and their carers have had negative experiences of mental health services. Discrimination and setbacks can have negative effects on someone’s desire to keep trying to engage in activities related to their well-being Facilitators’ Toolkit

Actions that can contribute to developing people’s confidence include: NHS – Education for Scotland Actions that can contribute to developing people’s confidence include: Listening to their needs and aspirations Providing information Working to develop constructive relationships with people Basing assessments and plans on individuals’ strengths Including people in planning Facilitators’ Toolkit

NHS – Education for Scotland “ Power is the ability to influence and control people, events and processes …. it is an ever-present phenomenon The quote is from Thomson (1998). Power is an important issue in involving service users and carers. Facilitators’ Toolkit

Good Practice in Strategic Involvement NHS – Education for Scotland Good Practice in Strategic Involvement Support organisations that help individuals to be involved. Set up meetings at convenient times and locations. Acknowledge individuals’ backgrounds and circumstances, including diversity of age, culture, race, disability, gender, sexuality and spirituality, and take these into account when asking for involvement. Find out about training and development opportunities that will facilitate greater involvement Be aware of and use person-centred approaches to commissioning services. Examples of good practice in strategic involvement show that time and effort spent in facilitating individuals’ and groups’ active participation results in better-informed contributions and stronger partnerships. Facilitators’ Toolkit

Good Practice in Strategic Involvement - cont. Provide information in a timely and accessible manner. Set out tasks clearly. Run meetings and events in ways that promote participation. Allow enough time meetings for debate and consultation. Involve service users in decision-making processes from the beginning and make it clear how, where and when decisions are made. Have a jointly agreed approach to involving service users and carers which covers practical aspects, such as payments and expenses, and difficult points such as ways of resolving differences of opinion.

NHS – Education for Scotland Values-based practice MODULE 4 Values-based practice Facilitators’ Toolkit

Learning outcomes After completing the module you will be able to: Explain what values-based practice (VBP) means in mental health and social care by: Describing the 10 pointers to good process in VBP. Explaining the relationship of VBP to the 10 Essential Shared Capabilities (ESC’s). Beginning to apply VBP in your work.

The values base for mental health nursing NHS – Education for Scotland The values base for mental health nursing Relationships Rights Respect Recovery Reaching out Responsibility Relationships Putting positive working relationships supported by good communication skills at the heart of practice. Maximising time to build relationships and challenging systems that detract from this. Recognising when relationships are unhelpful and taking steps to address this. Rights Based on principles in legislation, safeguards and codes of conducts. Respect For diversity of values and placing the values of individual users at the centre of practice. Listening to what people say and not basing practice on assumptions about what people need. Seeing the whole person and not just his or her symptoms. See the person as the ‘expert’ in his or her experience. For the contribution of families and carers. Recovery Promoting recovery and inspiring hope – building on people’s strengths and aspirations. Increasing capacity and capability to maximise choice. Reaching out To make best use of resources available in the wider community and to other agencies involved in mental health care. Being pro-active about opportunities for change and mobilising opportunities to work with others to bring about change. Responsibility At corporate, individual and shared levels to translate the vision and values into practice by evolving current frameworks for practice and challenging and shaping institutional systems and procedures to accommodate this. Facilitators’ Toolkit

Changing Lives – Core Values of Social Work in Scotland NHS – Education for Scotland Changing Lives – Core Values of Social Work in Scotland Respecting the right to self determination Promoting partnership Taking a whole-person approach Understanding each individual in the context of family and community Identifying and building on strengths Scottish Government 2006 We can see that there are areas of similarity and difference in the two professional values statement. Facilitators’ Toolkit

Values- based practice NHS – Education for Scotland Values- based practice The theory and capabilities for effective decision making in health and social care builds in a positive way on differences and diversity of values Working in a positive and constructive way with differences and diversity of values. Putting the values, views and understandings of individual service users and carers at the centre of everything we do. Understanding and using our own values and beliefs in a positive way. Respecting the values of the other people we work with and being open and receptive to their views. Facilitators’ Toolkit

Equality and diversity: respecting difference MODULE 5 Equality and diversity: respecting difference

Learning outcomes After completing this module, you will be able to: NHS – Education for Scotland Learning outcomes After completing this module, you will be able to: Reflect on what equality and diversity mean to you. Describe current issues in inequalities in Scotland that impact on mental health. Examine equality and diversity in relation to mental health services in Scotland. Discuss broader issues in relation to health inequalities in Scotland that are relevant to mental health. Reflect on your own experiences and practice in relation to equality and diversity issues. According to Fair for All, diversity is about: ‘….the recognition and valuing of difference’. In other words, it is about respecting and valuing the things that make us unique as individuals. These could include our physical appearance and size, our habits, preferences, beliefs, customs and traditions, our family background and upbringing, our dialect or language and so on. These variations also reflect in the way individuals and communities think about mental health. Facilitators’ Toolkit

Some examples of the inequalities that exist NHS – Education for Scotland Some examples of the inequalities that exist People with mental health problems are two times more likely to die from coronary heart disease and four times more likely to die from respiratory disease than the general population in Scotland. These issues are drawn from the resource “Equal Mind”, (SCDMH 2005) Facilitators’ Toolkit

We need to make sure that mental health services for men: NHS – Education for Scotland We need to make sure that mental health services for men: Are flexible. Focus on the whole person. Avoid stereotyping men as being unfeeling or uncommunicative. Build up trust, particularly through modelling values and behaviours around positive well-being.

NHS – Education for Scotland “There does not appear to be a single area of mental health care in this country in which black and minority ethnic groups fare as well as, or better than, the majority white community. Both in terms of service experience and the outcome of service interventions, they fare much worse than people from the ethnic majority.” The quote is from “Inside Out” a Department of Health document, 2003. Minority ethnic disadvantage cuts across all aspects of deprivation. Taken as a whole, minority ethnic groups are more likely than the rest of the population to live in disadvantaged areas, be unemployed, have low incomes, live in poor housing, have poor health and be victims of crime.

Additional Black and Ethnic Minority issues NHS – Education for Scotland Additional Black and Ethnic Minority issues Under-reporting of psychological distress. Asylum seekers. Lower rates of treatment. Experience of services and outcomes of service interventions. Gypsy and travelling people. Studies indicated a high level of under-reporting of psychological distress from some minority ethnic communities, such as Asian communities. Research has shown that asylum seekers’ levels of psychological distress while in the UK may be higher than those experienced while imprisoned and tortured in their own country. There are lower rates of treatment for people from minority ethnic background who have some of the more common mental health problems. Women from Gypsy and travelling people communities are subject to discrimination and consequently report experiences of anxiety and distress. Facilitators’ Toolkit

NHS – Education for Scotland Customs, ethical values and attitudes, hierarchical roles, family systems and loyalties are important foundations in the lives of minority ethnic people. They are elements of culture: the learned behaviour of a group of people in perceiving, interpreting, expressing and responding to the social realities about them. The ‘equality and diversity-blind’ position assumes that equality is about ‘treating everybody the same’. But, we are all different, with different experiences of life, society and family, and have very different needs. Equality is about equal respect, but not necessarily about having the same treatment. To better attend to minority ethnic individuals’ needs, services and their staff need to increase their awareness of what minority ‘culture’ is, its possible impact on people’s lives, on their health in general and mental health in particular, and on their understanding of what mental health is. Facilitators’ Toolkit

NHS – Education for Scotland “Institutional racism is present throughout the NHS and greater effort is needed to combat it. Until that problem is addressed, people from black and minority ethnic communities will not be treated fairly. The cultural, spiritual and social needs of patients must be taken into account.” The Bennett Inquiry in England in 2002 investigated the death of a black man in a secure unit in Norwich and presented 22 recommendations, mainly on racial issues. This has resulted in significant measures being implemented in England that, while not mandatory in Scotland, are relevant to us. Facilitators’ Toolkit

A Closer look at Mental Health Inequalities NHS – Education for Scotland A Closer look at Mental Health Inequalities Spirituality, religion and mental health inequalities. Scotland is a religiously and culturally diverse country. We need to recognise this to address the spiritual and religious needs of people we support in mental health services. The Scottish Government has stated that spiritual care, which includes but is not limited to religious care, must be provided in an equal and fair way for those of all faith communities or none. NHS boards have produced a spiritual care policy and work is underway to develop culturally competent standards for spiritual and religious care. Most NHS boards now have a Department of Spiritual and Religious Care staffed by a chaplaincy team. Facilitators’ Toolkit
