The Your Choice programme officially launched in December 2021, with over 200 attendees from 32 of our London Boroughs. We heard from Local Authority colleagues, Ben Linsday from Power the Fight, our colleagues from Violence Reduction Unit and our Project Sponsor, DCS Policy Lead Florence Kroll. 

“This programme has the opportunity to be quite transformational.” 

What is Your Choice?

Your Choice seeks to fill a practice gap by moving beyond understanding why a child may behave in a certain way to providing tools and techniques which practitioners can employ to help the child to keep themselves safe.

• An approach to practice underpinned by CBT
• Upskilling practitioners & young people alike; to take young people on journey of “guided discovery” and equip them with tools and techniques that can be useful in overcoming a range of psychological challenges
• Recognises the importance of and commitment to consistency in relationships whilst providing accessible methods for clinical intervention
• Provides access to clinical supervision to support practitioners understanding and formulation of young person’s presentation and associated plans

Your Choice will provide CBT additionality but work within the rich tapestry of existing theraputic delivery.
