The Ten Essential Shared Capabilities
Module 1:
Getting started – guidance notes
Welcome to Module 1. This module introduces you to the Ten Essential Shared
Capabilities (ESCs) learning materials (CD-ROM and print version) and explains how you
can get the most out of them. It starts with a general description and then divides into
two sections:
Notes for learners.
Notes for facilitators and managers.
At the end of the module you will fi nd brief biographical notes on the authors and
editors of these learning materials.

1. Description of learning materials
Overall learning outcome
After completing this programme, learners will be able to: describe the Ten Essential
Shared Capabilities (ESCs), explain how they are supported by evidence-based and
values-based practice, and give examples of how they relate to key areas in mental
health work.
‘The ESCs should form part of the basic building blocks for all staff who work
in mental health whether they are professionally qualifi ed or not or whether
they work in the NHS, the social care fi eld or the private and voluntary sectors.
The ESCs are also likely to have value for all staff who work in services that have
contact with people with mental health problems.’
From The Ten Essential Shared Capabilities – A Framework for the Whole of the
Mental Health Workforce (2004 – Department of Health/NHSU/The Sainsbury
Centre for Mental Health/National Institute for Mental Health in England) (p. 4)
We hope that people in all roles and settings who are involved in mental health work
will use these learning materials to become familiar with the ESC framework.
This covers all of the following groups:
Professionally affi liated and non-professionally affi liated workers from all
disciplines and sectors.
Line managers and supervisors.
Chief executives, chairs, non-executive directors and trustees.
Support, time and recovery (STR) workers, community development workers
(CDW) and other people in new roles.
Support workers and assistant/associate workers.
Service users and carers (as learners and learning facilitators).
Students who are training to do mental health work.
Advocacy workers.
Volunteers.
The content is designed to be stimulating, engaging and accessible both to those who
are new to this area of work and to those who are more experienced. The focus is
on practical applications of the ESC, refl ective practice and identifi cation of personal
learning goals. Each module includes links to further learning so that learners can
explore issues in more depth.
The ESCs cover the whole age range and apply to all types of mental health practice.
Although these learning materials are mainly aimed at those working with service users
aged between 18 and 65, the contents are relevant to work with younger and older
people too.

Service user and carer focus
Service users and carers are at the centre of this learning programme and have been
actively involved in developing the materials. This refl ects the way in which the Ten
ESCs were developed:
‘In 2003, a national steering group was established to guide the development
of the ESCs. The ESCs were developed through consultation with service users,
carers, managers, academics and practitioners. To facilitate this process, a
number of focus groups were held across England in order to sample opinion
and seek feedback. In the main, they have what might be termed an “outward
focus” and are explicitly and deliberately centred upon the needs of service users
and carers.’
From The Ten Essential Shared Capabilities – A Framework for the Whole of the
Mental Health Workforce (2004 – Department of Health/NHSU/The Sainsbury
Centre for Mental Health/National Institute for Mental Health in England) (p. 4)
How to use the learning materials
The ESC learning material consists of seven modules, which should take approximately
16 hours to complete. A period of 6 to 8 weeks should be allowed to work through
the whole learning programme, so that there is time for refl ection and application of
learning between modules.
Modules (with estimated timings)
Module 1: Getting started – guidance notes (this module) 1 hour
Module 2: The Ten Essential Shared Capabilities 3.5 hours
Module 3: Involving service users and carers 3.5 hours
Module 4: Values-based practice 2.5 hours
Module 5: Race equality and cultural capability 2.5 hours
Module 6: Developing socially inclusive practice 2.5 hours
Module 7: Personal action plan and learning review 1 hour
Modules 1 and 2 must be completed fi rst.
Modules 3 to 6 can be completed in any order.
Module 7 must be completed last.
Wherever possible learning should take place within a group. This will help to put
individual experiences into a broader context and enhance what is learnt.
All the learning materials on the CD-ROM are also provided in printed format.
The CD-ROM includes additional resources (PDFs) that are not available on paper.
Using the CD-ROM and the printed materials will give maximum fl exibility.

The CD-ROM is supported by self-assessed ‘learning activities’ (Word documents) for
each module, accessed from the main programme pages.
Alternate between the main programme and the learning activities by using the task
bar. Once you have completed a module you can print or save a learning activity.
How to get online
You can complete this programme using the paper learning materials and the
CD-ROM – you don’t have to access the Internet. However, if you do go online
you will be able to access websites that contain lots of interesting material on
mental health issues. Links are provided in these learning materials but please note
that NHSU is not responsible for the content of external websites.
If you don’t have access to a computer at home or at work but would like to learn
how to use the Internet, the fi rst step is to go to your learning centre or local public
library. All public libraries have computers linked to the Internet that you can use free
of charge. These are often in demand and you will probably need to book in advance.
Most librarians will help you to get started and show you what to do.
Useful websites for learning how to use the Internet include:
http://bbc.co.uk/webwise/course/
Learning via the Internet – a free BBC guide to using the Internet for
learning.
http://www.teachingideas.co.uk/welcome/
A ‘how to use the Internet’ site – mainly aimed at children but good for
adults, especially if you have little experience of using the Internet.
http://www.vts.rdn.ac.uk
The RDN Virtual Training Suite aims to help people develop their Internet
skills. It’s mainly aimed at students, lecturers and researchers in UK higher
and further education, but is freely available to others.

2. Notes for learners
Hopes and concerns
Activity 1.1
Before you start working through these learning materials please think carefully about:
Your hopes, personal values and goals – the things you hope to get from this
programme and why it is important for you:
Your fears and concerns – things you may not like, or may fi nd diffi cult:
The Ten Essential Shared Capabilities
Module 1: Getting started – guidance notes Page 7
Personal action plan
The concept of ‘personal development and learning’ is central to these learning
materials.
Indeed, it is one of the Ten ESCs:
Personal development and learning. Keeping up to date with changes in practice
and participating in lifelong learning, personal and professional development for
one’s self and colleagues through supervision, appraisal and refl ective practice.
(ESC 10)
In this learning programme, you will:
refl ect on past learning (Module 1 – this module)
assess yourself using the Ten Essential Shared Capabilities and set learning
goals (Module 2)
apply what you learn to your own role and refl ect on individual, team and
organisational performance
review what you have learned from this programme and prepare a personal
action plan (Module 7).
To start this process, please answer two brief, but important, sets of questions:
Activity 1.2
Coming into mental health work – your goals
Why did you fi rst become interested in mental health work?
What was your main goal in becoming involved?
What will help you to achieve this goal?

Learning experiences in mental health work
What is the most important thing you have learned about mental health work?
Please note some good learning experiences in your current or previous roles:
Refl ect on these learning experiences and name three things that made them good:
Think about your continuing development and note any plans you have for future

Module 1: Getting started – guidance notes Page 9
Having completed this activity you may want to talk to your line manager, supervisor or
mentor about creating (or updating) your own Personal Development Plan.
Self-assessment
As you work through the ESC modules you will assess yourself by:
completing a self-assessment activity and setting learning goals for this
programme (Module 2)
using the ESC learning materials to refl ect on your own role and values (this
is a core part of the programme)
answering three key questions to review what you have learnt from Modules
3–6
reviewing what you have learnt from the programme as a whole and
producing a personal action plan (Module 7).
Although you should complete these tasks as an individual you will fi nd it helpful to
discuss your ideas with others. You may be able to do this through a learning group,
through meetings with your supervisor, line manager or mentor, or through an informal
arrangement with a colleague.
When you discuss your ideas with others, you will fi nd that although they may share
many of your own hopes, fears and values, there may also be surprising differences.
The importance of recognising and respecting the differences between us, while
‘owning’ our own personal hopes, fears and values, is a theme that you will fi nd runs
right through the Ten ESCs – besides ESC 2 Respecting Diversity, for example, this is
the key to ESC 1 Working in Partnership, to ESC 5 Promoting Recovery, and to ESC 7
Providing Service User Centred Care. Values-based practice, which is introduced in
Module 4, gives us the skills to do this.
At the end of the programme you will be asked to review these learning materials
and send feedback on them. We want to fi nd out how relevant and useful they are to
people in a wide range of roles and settings.
Now that you have completed this module, you are ready to move on to Module 2:
The Ten Essential Shared Capabilities.

3. Notes for facilitators and managers
Learners do not need to complete this section
You will fi nd it helpful to refer to the learning materials as you work through these notes.
Support for learners
Although learners can complete the ESC learning modules independently, their learning
will be enhanced if they share and discuss ideas with others. This can be achieved
through setting up a learning group or using existing opportunities such as supervision,
team meetings or away days.
Where possible learning support should be provided for the duration of the
programme. Most learners will take 6–8 weeks to work through all seven modules,
allowing time in between for the refl ection and application of learning. Facilitators and
managers may want to leave support sessions relatively open and allow learners to set
the agenda by raising specifi c issues relating to modules, or sharing their experiences
of learning.
A more structured approach to supporting learners can also be used as outlined below.
Each session consists of two parts and should take around two hours.
Session 1: Getting started (Modules 1 and 2)
Introduction to the Ten Essential Shared Capabilities (Module 2)
Session 2: Involving service users and carers (part 1) (Module 3)
Involving service users and carers (part 2)
Session 3: Values-based practice (Module 4)
Race equality and cultural capability (Module 5)
Session 4: Developing socially inclusive practice (Module 6)
Personal action plans and learning review (Module 7)
Learning group sessions should be held after learners have completed the relevant
module(s) so that they come with recent experience of thinking about the topic on
their own.
The Ten Essential Shared Capabilities
Module 1: Getting started – guidance notes Page 11
Here are some detailed suggestions for each session.
Session 1: Part one: Getting started
Facilitator’s plan
Put up two fl ipcharts headed ‘more capable’ and ‘less capable’. Ask learners
to work in pairs and discuss how they rated themselves against the Ten ESCs
using these two headings.
Ask learners to transfer their fi ndings onto the fl ipcharts by using Post-its®
or writing directly onto the paper.
Look at each fl ipchart and discuss. Is there uniformity across the group, or
are there signifi cant differences? What does this suggest?
Split learners into small groups and ask them to record goals and concerns
they identifi ed in relation to this programme.
Ask each group to present their list of goals and concerns.
Compare the two lists. Discuss goals people have identifi ed and ask the
group to suggest ways of addressing concerns.
Session 1: Part two: Introduction to the Ten Essential Shared Capabilities
Facilitator’s plan
Briefl y present the Ten ESCs.
Discuss any ESCs that appeared on the fl ipchart sheet under the heading
‘less capable’. You may want to refer learners to work they did and goals
that they set in Module 2.
Point learners towards additional resources included or signposted in the ESC
learning materials. Make sure that they know how to access these.

Session 2: Part one: Involving service users and carers (1)
Facilitator’s plan
Use the statements on ‘recovery’ from Module 3 as an introduction and then
refer to the National Institute for Mental Health in England (NIMHE) Guiding
Statement on Recovery (2005) in Module 2.
Divide learners into small groups to discuss:
(a) how they would defi ne recovery
(b) helpful ways of working in partnership with service users and carers to
promote recovery.
Ask for feedback from each group.
Present the 12 guiding principles for the delivery of recovery-orientated
mental health services (from NIMHE Guiding Statement on Recovery [2005]).
Session 2: Part two: Involving service users and carers (2)
Facilitator’s plan
Ask learners to work in pairs or groups of three and share the cycles of hope
that they created while doing Module 3.
Revisit the cycles of hopelessness and hope (Basset et al 2004) from
Module 3.
Review key points about hope:
Hope is infectious and catching.
Hopeful mental health workers infect each other – similarly workers
who have no hope (hope-less workers) infect each other.
Hope is a key ingredient in successful treatment outcomes and the
recovery of service users.
Service user successes have a positive impact on workers’
hopefulness.
It is not diffi cult to see from such fi ndings that a mental health
service that both establishes and maintains an overall atmosphere
and ambience of hope is likely to work better for both the providers
and users of the service.

BPS)

This pack contains suffi cient material for a four-day course and gives the service users
tools to tackle discrimination. It covers:
facts about discrimination and rights
guidance on getting started
details about what works
ideas on how to start an initiative
information on fi nding allies
advice on speaking out and effectively putting across messages
developing and implementing an action plan.

Session 3: Part one: Values-based practice
Facilitator’s plan
Learners worked on ‘Mila’s account’ in Module 4 (see below). Divide them
into small groups and ask them to look at this account again. Get them
to focus on how they related Mila’s account to the ‘ten pointers to good
process’.
Facilitate feedback from the groups and see if there is agreement amongst
participants about this activity.
Discuss, in particular, any differences and how these might refl ect differences
of values.
Review the importance of the four key skills of values-based practice (VBP)
(awareness, reasoning, knowledge and communication) and of the other
‘10 pointers to good process’ for resolving such differences in a way that
respects Mila’s needs and concerns.

Mila’s account
‘Basically I’ve had a shit life. I had a hell of a childhood with abuse, racism and foster
care. I came into services when I was 11 years old. I think it must have been because
I was harming myself pretty badly by then. Being part of child mental health services
wasn’t too bad – they pissed me off sometimes but I generally got the feeling they
wanted to help me, it was just so diffi cult. But when I was 18 years old they moved
me into adult services and I had my fi rst admission on an adult ward. My god, what
a shock – they looked at me as if I was a criminal. I felt they hated me, saw me as a
time waster stopping all the people who were really ill from getting help. I know I was
diffi cult; I was just all over the place, my moods seemed so extreme. I felt wretched
all the time and nobody seemed to understand. They kept telling me to stop being so
attention-seeking and take some responsibility for myself. But I just felt like exploding
all the time and the more they didn’t like me and ignored me the more I wanted to
hurt myself and the more they said I was attention-seeking. No one told me I had
been diagnosed as having a personality disorder – I don’t know if they treated me the
way they did because of how I behaved or because they had been told my diagnosis.
I just know it was a shit time and no one seemed happy, me or them.’

Module 1: Getting started – guidance notes Page 15
Session 3: Part two: Race equality and cultural capability
Facilitator’s plan
In Module 5, participants are introduced to a holistic assessment model from
Dutt and Ferns (Department of Health/Race Equality Unit 1998). This model
has 12 components:
i Holistic assessment – individual needs are assessed within a wider
socio-economic context, as well as health and basic physical care needs.
ii Challenging stereotypes – assessment of needs is not based on
‘assumptions’ or ‘stereotypes’ of people but on a careful assessment of
individual circumstances.
ii Reinforcing cultural heritage – discovering a person’s chosen lifestyle and
strengthening their cultural identity to increase opportunities for personal
growth and development.
iv Culturally appropriate services – identifying cultural and religious needs in
an accurate way which can then facilitate the development of culturally
appropriate services.
v Overcoming language barriers – attending to the person’s communication
needs to enable fuller participation in the assessment process.
vi Outreach and preventive work – needs are assessed with a view to
involving community-based resources in providing support for the person
and preventing crises from occurring.
vii Focus on discriminatory barriers – needs analysis is not based on a
discriminatory view of the person as a ‘cause’ of the problems but
focuses on problematic social processes which exclude the person from
ordinary community living.
viii Appropriate intervention – interventions are culturally appropriate and
strengthen cultural identity to increase opportunities for personal growth
and development.
ix Family/carer support – individual needs of the person are assessed within
a context of the signifi cant personal relationships with family and friends.
x Range of treatment options – needs should not be restricted to artifi cially
narrow aspects of the person’s life defi ned by professionals and service
organisations, but should encompass the whole of a person’s life.
xi Empowerment and advocacy – ensuring that the person and his/her
family fully participate in the assessment process with independent
advocacy or self-advocacy support if required.
xii Safeguarding rights – establishing checks on the quality of the
assessment process and ensuring that the person has proper access to a
complaints procedure if required.

Split participants into small groups. Divide the 12 components equally
between the groups. The task for each group is to map each component
against the Ten ESCs using the grid below. The question they should answer
in each case is: ‘Which ESCs would a mental health worker need to work in
this way?’ Encourage learners to relate this activity to work they are actually
doing with service users and carers.
Facilitate feedback from the small groups.
Draw out and discuss any common themes.

Session 4: Part one: Developing socially inclusive practice
Facilitator’s plan
Ask participants to record a number of things that enrich their lives using a
separate Post-it® for each one they identify.
Invite participants to stick their Post-its® onto a fl ipchart sheet.
Read out examples of things that have been recorded and arrange Post-its®
in categories, involving everyone in the process. You should have both
common and unique items.
Ask the question ‘How can we work with service users to help them enrich
their lives?’ Draw on ideas from the whole group.
Divide participants into small groups and give each group a copy of the
‘Cycle of Exclusion’ diagram from Module 6 (Social Exclusion Unit 2004).
It is best to draw this onto two fl ipchart sheets before the session. Ask each
group to record ways of breaking this cycle of exclusion.
Ask for feedback from the small groups and draw (or get them to draw) their
ideas onto these fl ipcharts.
You may also want to use some video/DVD material in this session. A useful resource
for potential learning materials is:
In This World – Social Exclusion Unit fi lm on mental health (2004). This 13-minute
fi lm is available (free of charge) from the Social Exclusion Unit (see http://www.
socialexclusionunit.gov.uk). It shows three examples of service users moving towards
greater social inclusion.
Session 4: Part two: Personal action plan and learning review
Facilitator’s plan
Evaluation of the ESC learning materials
Remind learners that they have been using pilot learning materials. Ask them
to complete the learner feedback and evaluation sheet included in Module
7. While they are doing this, please complete the facilitator feedback and
evaluation form yourself.
Briefl y discuss:
The extent to which people’s individual learning goals have been met.
How people feel about their original fears and concerns now.

Ask each participant to share one aspect of his or her personal action plan.
Generate a brief discussion about future learning goals. Encourage learners
to think creatively about sustaining learning through:
using learning resources (libraries, learning centres, online)
work-based learning (action learning sets, team development)
individual supervision, line management, coaching or mentoring
‘follow-on’ learning opportunities (make sure they know how to
access information, advice and guidance).

2. Using the Internet and websites
It is well worth encouraging learners to make use of the Internet – it’s a good way of
getting access to information quickly. There are literally thousands of websites devoted
to every aspect of mental health and more appearing every week. Have a look at
http://www.psychnet-uk.com It has all kinds of useful links and information.
The Ten Essential Shared Capabilities
Module 1: Getting started – guidance notes Page 23
In these learning materials, we’ve listed a number of websites that learners may fi nd
interesting. It’s important to note that this is not an exhaustive list, and please note that
NHSU is not responsible for the content of external websites.
If you search under each of the Ten ESCs you will fi nd lots of relevant and useful
material including some from a non-mental health background. This can help to
stimulate fresh thinking and new ideas. Searching using the keywords ‘Respecting
Diversity’ throws up hundreds of sites devoted to challenging racism, sexism and other
prejudices.
Try searching for each of the ESCs in turn and see what you fi nd. If you come across
something you think we should know about, please contact the editors by email at
esc@scmh.org.uk
If learners don’t have access to a computer and are keen to learn how to use the
Internet, encourage them to go to a learning centre or local public library. All public
libraries have computers linked to the Internet that can be used free of charge. They
are often in demand and may need to be booked in advance. Most librarians will help
people to get started and show them what to do.
Useful websites for learning how to use the Internet include:
