With income growth, also comes the challenge of establishing and sustaining increased controls and regulatory oversight. The UK regulatory environment has also (over the years) required organisations working in the sector to become more stringent in the ability to demonstrate efficiency and value for money.  The year 2017-2018 saw the emergence of new requirements around GDPR, Safeguarding, prevention of Terrorism etc. in addition to increased reporting by the non-governmental and other sectors, all requiring regular monitoring and oversight.

To this end, management has taken steps to implementing the Business World (formerly known as Agresso), Enterprise Reporting Planning system from 2020.

Open Door is undertaking a review of its management structure and the role may well become permanent.

About Open Door:

Based in Haringey, North London, Open Door is dedicated to improving the mental health and emotional well-being of young people in their transition from childhood to adulthood. Over the past forty-four years thousands of young people have turned to Open Door with a range of concerns including depression, anxiety and self-harm. We deliver a range of effective evidence-based interventions to young people aged 12-25 as well as specialist support to parents facing the particular challenges of parenting teenagers.

Open Door operates from welcoming, non-stigmatising community settings which can be accessed by self-referral. Since 1976 its main base has been in Crouch End and in 2013 Open Door Tottenham was launched in an area of significant need. We have also worked in a number of mainstream and special secondary schools.

Open Door is a lively, thriving organisation staffed by a team of highly qualified and dedicated clinicians, trainees, administrators and volunteers overseen by a committed Board of Trustees.

Since March 19th, therapy sessions have been offered using video (zoom), telephone and text with the majority of staff working from home. We have made building adjustments and introduced hygiene and social distancing protocols to create premises covid-secure enough to allow face-to-face work, though on a reduced level. From mid-September we will be increasing the number of face-to-face appointments alongside the digital offer depending on clinical presentation, risk, patient choice and our capacity to maintain social distancing.  Whilst transitioning to becoming a ‘blended’ service offering in-person and remote therapy, we are also undertaking a 30% service expansion made possible by successful income generation. This will be achieved by  the employment of new therapists and Open Door becoming a 5 day per week service for the first time in over 10 years.
