This resource presents the Mayor's Office for Policing and Crime (MOPAC) Youth Outcomes Framework (2016), which was developed by MOPAC and Project Oracle in 2013. The Outcomes Framework is based on: a review of existing children and youth outcomes frameworks; consultation with over 75 youth justice organisations, funders and commissioners across London; a pilot of the MOPAC Youth Outcomes Framework within three London local authorities and lessons learned from their experiences. The Framework is a tool to support those working in the youth justice sector to identify their intended outcomes, and to assess and demonstrate those outcomes. It is a 'menu' of outcomes and measurement tools which organisations can select from to explore and demonstrate the impact of their work. Outcomes and measurement tools are grouped around five themes: offending, violence and victimisation; behaviour; attitudes and relationships; personal skills and attributes; and mental health and wellbeing.

The Quality Network for Forensic Mental Health Services was launched in 2006 with an initial focus on medium secure services. The Network has developed this third consultation draft of ‘Standards for low secure services’ directly from the ‘Low secure services: good practice commissioning guide: consultation draft’ (Department of Health, February 2012). In addition some standards from the ‘Implementation criteria for recommended specification: adult medium secure units’ (second edition CCQI 105) have been included. These standards have been developed with the purpose of forming the basis of the self- and peer-review questionnaires for the Quality Network for Forensic Mental Health Services’ low secure services self- and peer-reviews. The standards provide an accessible way for services to actively engage in ongoing service development towards implementing the Department of Health recommendations. This report outlines the development of the standards, the model of care, therapeutic and service environments, workforce, governance and equalities issues. (Edited publisher abstract)

Note is made where there was no previous equivalent, or where previous requirements have been removed. Some requirements under both the previous and the new regime are set out in regulations but this guide focuses on the Acts. The sections of the Act are set out in the same order as the Care Standards Act Parts I and II. Précis of each section are provided in boxes.

This document, which includes the mental health contextualised standards, is designed to be used in addition to, and to enhance, current Care Certificate delivery and resources. The Care Certificate was introduced in 2015 to ensure that all social care and healthcare workers have the knowledge, skills and behaviours to provide compassionate, safe and high quality care and support. Some of the standards have been contextualised to different working situations or services to help new workers, or workers new to a particular area of care, to apply the content to their specific roles. The Care Certificate has been contextualised in six areas: autism; dementia; end of life care; learning disability; lone working; mental health. (Edited publisher abstract)
