Drop down list of all recent : (b) Work in Progress - Minor change

• We do not track extremely minor content changes, such as fixing broken links, correcting typos, or improving the layout - members of the AMBIT Editorial Group work independently on these "housekeeping" tasks.
• Major changes require more "sign-off" than Minor changes

(a) Work in Progress - Major change

This is used to tag changes flowing from group discussions in the AMBIT Editorial Group and in order to be posted in the AMBIT manual they require a minimum of three members to agree, but to be properly accepted they require sign off from at the very least the significantly more for the highest level changes proposed.

The highest level of major changes mark a response to new evidence drawn from wider theoretical/experimental advances. They generally mark a significant change in direction (the removal of one of the Specific interventions, or addition of a new one, for instance; or a change to the Core Features of AMBIT represented in the AMBIT Wheel.)

(b) Work in Progress - Minor change

This tags changes that are generally new pages that introduce some small element of new theory of practice, or which are formed to better elaborate an existing area, but which do not represent any kind of fundamental shift in direction or practice - but are rather "clarifications" or "embellishments" on existing content.

For example:

• The response to a local outcomes evaluation by a local AMBIT-influenced team that demonstrates wide applicability for other teams, but comes without the assurance of a randomized controlled trial.
• These changes are more likely to be smaller components of practice, or examples of stylistic approaches to a problem.
• The practice recommendation or "example" will be judged as marking a subtle shift in the direction of the "steer" that has previously been offered by the manual, although not one that - if all other things remaining unchanged - would be likely to have a significant impact on outcomes.
• For instance, the addition of video illustrating a technique for introducing the use of playing cards developed as a young persons' version of the AIM Cards - this (new) approach to the use of the cards (themselves an innovation from the AFC, building on the Clinician-rated AIM Form) was developed locally and evaluated locally in the AMASS team in Islington. It was agreed in the Editorial Group that this approach, while without formal validation evidence, was worth sharing as by doing so there may be scope for a formal validation exercise.)
