StopSIM

For 15 months we have been working with @NHSEngland and other key stakeholders to co-author a joint policy reflecting the concerns raised by us and others during the #StopSIM Campaign. Our shared deadline for publication was the 10th of March 2023. (Statement attached) 2/13

The draft NICE guidelines on self harm are out for consultation. We have read them so you don’t have to and these parts are particularly interesting, explicitly stating withholding treatments and punitive approaches should not be used nice.org.uk/guidance/GID-NG1… #StopSIM

FOI response:

Dear @BEHMHTNHS, In your response to the #StopSIM campaign’s FOI’s you stated that your model with @BTP had been revised in light of the #StopSIM campaign. However, evidence in the original tweet above suggests that your model is a SIM like model. This practice must end.

Our FOI’s to @BEHMHTNHS stated that their @BTP model was revised after the #StopSIM campaign and was not under SIM/HIN. The evidence in the tweet above indicates that this new model is indeed a SIM like model.
