DELIVERING MENTAL WELL-BEING SERVICES ONLINE 1 Foreword As a unique group of organisations working together to bring psychological therapies to the NHS and improve access for all who need them, the New Savoy Partnership is delighted to support the Risk Awareness and Management Programme (RAMP). Our joint mission is to ensure people of all ages and backgrounds who need psychological therapy can have appropriate and timely support, delivered by therapists with the right skills, through the NHS. As a group of organisations committed to excellence in the quality of the services we offer it is appropriate to have a document such as this, which provides guidelines on good practices to organisations delivering mental well-being services online. People know they have to take responsibility for their own mental health, and the digital world offers an unprecedented opportunity for those bearing the distress of an emergent or existing mental health problem to find support and information at the earliest possible stage. However, people often also need, expect and are entitled to support from mental health services during their journey towards recovery. To date, there can only be a limited confidence in what they discover online. For many people it will often be difficult to distinguish the helpful from the less so. And for commissioners and clinicians it will often not be easy to navigate their way in a fast-moving market. The RAMP initiative is relevant to mental well-being providers who wish to offer the highest quality of online services, and to people who wish to find and choose support that suits them, knowing it will meet approved standards. I warmly thank those who have worked hard to produce these guidelines, and commend them to you as an important contribution towards realising the ambitions of the New Savoy Declaration.

The Programme offers good practice recommendations for the providers of online mental well-being services to enhance the safety of people using their services. The Programme outlines the risks that mental well-being providers should be aware of and offers guidance with respect to how to mitigate those risks. The guidance is not intended as a ‘one size fits all’ solution. It is recognized that online mental well-being service provision is an emerging field, populated by both statutory and non-statutory providers. Online mental well-being providers can vary greatly in terms of the type of service they offer users, the platforms on which they can be consumed, their ideological underpinnings and their user demographics. All of these factors affect the levels and types of risks that are attendant to those services and the strategies that may be appropriate and reasonable to address such risks. Accordingly, in determining their own safety strategies, online mental well-being providers that support RAMP take into account the particular nature of their services in order to apply the relevant recommendations. Therefore, while Contributors have reached consensus on this first iteration of RAMP, it is for each provider to judge where and how far to apply the document’s specific recommendations. The RAMP guidelines are aspirational and not prescriptive or legally binding but are offered to mental well-being providers with a strong recommendation for their use. The guidelines are the culmination of work conducted by a range of mental well-being providers over a number of years. This latest iteration of the guidelines is regarded as a work in progress and will be subject to review and updating at regular intervals. We recognise that it cannot be comprehensive, given the rapid developments within the digital world, and RAMP is best considered as a developmental tool or programme that assists those learning about the digital world. The Programme complements existing good practice guidelines, - see appendix A - which collectively aim to shape a consistent and complementary framework on which providers can build and develop strategies to support and protect service users. 5 Introduction • The Risk Awareness Management Programme (RAMP) is intended to serve as a guide for organisations that have, or are considering, extending or enhancing online mental health and social support service provision in a safe and secure manner. •  The Programme is also aimed at social networking service providers, mobile operators, gaming platforms and application developers interested in encouraging mental well-being organisations to signpost and/or deliver support services from within specific online environments. •  In addition, the Programme will be of interest to regulators, policy makers and academics, who have an interest or remit in the broader e-health area. •  The Programme is intended to form the basis of discussions about the development of online mental well-being services between commissioners and mental well-being providers from which a contract for services can then be agreed. • We recommend that accredited service providers, registered charities, government endorsed service providers, commissioning and funding organisations use the guidelines as appropriate for the planned level of service provision in the development of interactive online support services. The presence of, for example, pro-anorexia, pro-suicide and pro-self-harm sites, where people interact in such a way that self-destructive behaviours can be reinforced, highlights the need for high quality, alternative sources of information uploads/Management/ ramp-guide.pdf
