Understanding & Preventing Adverse Effects of Psychological Therapies

Researchers from the University of Sheffield are carrying out research across England to find out what happens when therapy ('talking treatments', counselling, psychotherapy) makes someone feel worse or 'goes wrong'. This will help us to develop some practical ways to identify and prevent therapies from failing.

If you have had an experience of therapy that you feel has 'gone wrong' or been harmful, we are keen to hear from you. We would like to hear from people who have had therapy and therapists/counsellors. Can you help us with this research?

To take part you need to download this flyer which contains more about the study and an application form >>

Social Mobility Tool-kit

Following the 2009 Milburn-led Panel on Fair Access to the Professions – which highlighted poor access to the professions for talented individuals from both low and middle income families -  several professional bodies have begun to look at ways to measure and improve social mobility. They have commissioned us at Spada, a research and communications consultancy, to produce a "Social Mobility Tool-kit".

We would value your members' insights, collected via this survey, to help shape this tool-kit.

The Tool-kit, which will be freely available online from early 2012, will guide professional bodies and firms in collecting data from their staff on a regular basis, helping them understand the socio-economic make-up of their organisation and improve its diversity over time. At its core will be a list of proposed indicators for organisations to track: with your help, we would like to identify the indicators that are most important to understanding social mobility.

You can see the survey at: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/socialmobility

If you wish to only preview the survey and do not want your response to be taken into account, please do not press the 'Done' button on the final page.
The survey will run from today until Monday, December 12th.  It will take less than 5 minutes to complete. All responses will remain entirely anonymous and this data will be used for research purposes only.
