————————-Gloucestershire Health and Care NHS Foundation Trust, I am a PhD Student within the Division of Psychology & Mental Health at the University of Manchester. I am writing to make a Freedom of Information request to Gloucestershire Health and Care NHS Foundation Trust, which I am entitled to under the Freedom of Information Act 2000. My PhD topic is ‘Understanding the Psychological Impact of Online Child Sexual Abuse OCSA.’. As part of this PhD, I am interested in understanding NHS responses to OCSA. Current literature examining the psychological impact of OCSA on young people highlights the difficulty many young people face when trying to access services or explain their experience of online abuse to healthcare professionals Hamilton-Giachritsis et al., 2020; Martin, 2014.. This often makes the healing process more difficult for victims. Likewise, literature exploring healthcare professionals’ perspectives of OCSA, has shown that many practitioners find the assessment tools used to assess for child sexual abuse CSA. to be too general to also assess for OCSA El-Asam et al., 2021.. This past year the National Centre for Missing and Exploited Children NCMEC. has seen a 100% increase in the reports from the public of online sexual abuse, and the incidence of online grooming significantly increased WeProtect, 2021.. Qualitative interview-based studies are important for gaining a foundational understanding of how practitioners respond to OCSA. However, due to the rapid increase of OCSA in the past year, it is also valuable to understand treatment availability for OCSA from a wider service level. Therefore, I am sending Freedom of Information requests to NHS Trusts, with affiliated Sexual Assault Referral Centre SARC. or Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services CAMHS.. This will help highlight gaps in current response procedures for OCSA and inform future intervention methods. Attached to this email is a Word Document with a list of questions categorised by service i.e., SARC and CAMHS.. Please answer the questions for the services. affiliated with your Trust. The word document also contains definition of technology facilitated sexual abuse. Please respond to this request by emailing the answers to the questions to Please let me know if you have any concerns, or let me know if the request is too wide or unclear. Additionally, in the instance that any of this information is already in the public domain, could you please direct me to where to locate this information and if needed any page references and URLs.
I understand that you are required to respond to my request within the 20 working days after you receive this email. I would ask if you could confirm that you have received this request by responding to this email.

I am writing to you under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 to request information regarding intensive community and day patient treatment programmes for patients with eating disorders. Please provide a reference number for this request in your acknowledgement email. [If this request is forwarded internally, please do not cut out the introductory wording before the questions].

A note for clinicians/services involved in responding to this request
We are conducting this survey to help us understand how widely available these forms of treatment are across the UK. The top-level findings will be published in a report, in which individual services/providers will not be named. Instead, we will report the findings in terms of the proportion of providers or areas that offer intensive community and/or day patient treatment programmes for people with eating disorders.

We recognise that eating disorder services are under extreme pressure and are facing major challenges in recruiting and retaining the staff they need. This request will form part of a wider Beat project that will aim to understand and help overcome the barriers that the NHS faces in expanding access to these innovative service models. This will include challenging policy makers and commissioners to provide the required resources.

Background
Intensive community and day patient treatment programmes offer increased contact hours for the patient compared to traditional outpatient treatment. The patient returns home at night and therefore is not an inpatient. Such treatment programmes can help minimise inpatient admissions and reduce length of stay when admission is necessary.

Day patient treatment programmes sometimes called ‘day care’. tend to be run as a group programme, with patients attending the service during the day and returning home for evenings and weekends. Such programmes could potentially be delivered partially or wholly online/virtually. Some intensive community treatment programmes include home treatment, whereby a clinician visits the patient’s home to support meals and snacks and offer psychosocial intervention. There are other models of intensive community treatment aside from home treatment and we are very interested in hearing about these approaches too.

Questions
1. Does the Trust provide any intensive community and/or day patient treatment for eating disorders or refer patients on to receive such treatment from another NHS or non-NHS provider.? This may include day patient treatment, home treatment, or other innovative model/s. We are interested in programmes for children and young people, and/or adults.
£ Yes
£ No, and the Trust has never provided such a service
£ No, but the Trust did provide such a service in the past [Please provide more information below, including what led to the closure of this service/s]

If the Trust provides more than one model of intensive community or day patient treatment and/or has separate programmes based on age or any other criteria, please provide separate answers for each treatment programme and specify which programme is being referred to. If the Trust refers patients on to receive intensive community or day patient treatment from another NHS or non-NHS provider, please state the name of this provider, and cover this treatment programme within the answers you give to questions 2-8.

2. What model/s of intensive community or day patient treatment for eating disorders does the Trust provide or refer patients onto.? Examples include day treatment or home treatment, but we are keen to hear about any other forms of intensive treatment too aside from inpatient care.. In your answer, please specify whether these are provided in-person or online/virtually.
