AMBIT-influenced

22nd March 2018
Increasingly we prefer not to talk about "AMBIT teams" but rather refer to "AMBIT-influenced" teams, emphasising the fact that AMBIT is not a monolithic culture, or a "unimodal" intervention: an essential principle in AMBIT is the need to Respect local practice and expertise, balancing this with Respect for Evidence.

The AMBIT programme, based around the Anna Freud National Centre for Children and Families seeks to provide a platform upon which multiple adaptations and improvements can be built, and shared - creating a Community of Practice which blends evidence based techniques and components of practice with practice-based evidence from specific real-world teams. open access to the different manuals managed by Community members is via the signposting site:

Although anyone can access the core material, and can even freely create their own version of the AMBIT manual (see here only teams with a formal AMBIT training become members of the AMBIT Community of Practice by being included in the list here: AMBIT community of practice - members. Members of the Community of Practice are able to use the Comparing and Sharing functions in the manual to keep abreast of (and benefit from) the learning other teams are documenting in their work.
