Information bulletins – e-newsletter

An e-newsletter has been developed in pilot formats with different interest groups (eg SDC Staff and associates; agencies working with children and young people across Scotland who participate in the Collaborative Network supported by SDC and YoungMinds). Consumer surveys were then carried out to ensure that information and format continued to be engaging and helpful. This work assisted in furthering the objectives of the Framework for Children and Young People’s Mental Health through enhancing understanding of the role of information flow in health improvement.

Emerging practice database

An emerging practice resource has been developed. This aims to foster an awareness of relevant research and emerging evidence from practice, knowledge of innovative approaches being tried or implemented in other areas and improved awareness of a range of models for new ways of working. This has the potential to become a database of examples of existing projects and ongoing work, focusing initially on health improvement.
