Knowledge and Understanding Frameworks

In December 2007 the Department of Health and Ministry of Justice commissioned the development of a national training framework to support people to work more effectively with personality disorder.

The partnership awarded the contract comprises the PD Institute, the London-based Tavistock and Portman NHS Trust, Borderline UK the largest service user and carer support group in the UK focussing on the needs of those living with the experience of personality disorder and the Open University the largest provider of work based education and e learning materials in the UK. The training frameworks were completed in April 2009 and the programmes will be available from September 2009.
