Sleepio is an online sleep improvement programme proven to help you clear your mind, get better sleep, and have better days.

Sleepio isn't a one-size-fits-all approach. It incorporates your unique needs to create a personalised six-week programme that you complete at your own pace. Each session builds on the last, guiding you step-by-step through methods proven to help you quiet your racing mind, reshape your behaviours, and get better sleep - all in about 20 minutes per week.

The programme uses cognitive behavioural techniques that are backed by decades of clinical research, and has undergone more testing than some of the most common sleep medications. In 12 randomized controlled trials with over 13,000 people, Sleepio was proven to help participants fall asleep 54% faster, spend 62% less time awake at night, and have 45% better functioning the next day. You'll have access to all of this clinical evidence from directly within the app.

KEY FEATURES:

- A personalized programme of clinically proven cognitive and behavioural techniques, designed to get your sleep schedule, thoughts, and lifestyle into shape over six tailored sessions.

- A comprehensive onboarding approach with an in-depth questionnaire that shapes your tailored programme experience.

- A Sleep Diary to track your progress and monitor your sleep efficiency as you work towards your sleep goals.

- Instant, bite-sized support through the "Help Me Now" feature to get back on track after a long night or rough morning.

"The most effective, long-term solution for poor sleep is a cognitive and behavioural approach, which addresses the mental and behavioural parts of the individual's sleep pattern," shared Professor Espie. "These approaches help the person to think and behave differently in relation to their sleep, which encourages good sleep to return. Sleepio is a clinically proven digital sleep improvement programme that uses cognitive and behavioural techniques to help users with persistent sleep problems."

Note: In the UK, Sleepio is a CE marked medical device available for the treatment of Insomnia Disorder.

Thank you for using Sleepio. We update our app regularly. This release includes recent bug fixes and performance improvements.

A good app accompanying a good programme

Face to face CBT for insomnia is well established as the most effective way of dealing with chronic insomnia. But it's often expensive and difficult to access.

Sleepio makes it available on line with a quality programme that doesn't cut any corners. This accompanying app is very much fit for purpose.

I'm on my fourth week with Sleepio on the recommendation of my doctor. And I'm really getting to grips with my insomnia after years of totally chaotic sleep. (You don't need a doctor's referral though)

A sleep diary is at the heart of the programme. This app makes it very straight forward to fill in. I've also developed (as part of the programme) a personal schedule that will help me improve my chances of sleeping through the night. That's available too on the app and so is always at my finger tips.

In addition there are a whole range of resources to help with the racing mind and the anxiety that so often goes with insomnia. I'm impressed.

The programme requires commitment and a willingness to let go of old and less good habits. We insomniacs need all the help we can get on our journey. This app helps us on our way. And for me? Well, I'm beginning to get results!

Hi V75jason,

Thank you for the kind words and honest overview of the program! We're so glad to hear you're making progress! If there's anything we can do to assist, please don't hesitate to reach out at hello@sleepio.com. We're always glad to help!

All the best,

The Sleepio Team
hello@sleepio.com

Pleasantly surprised

I decided to do this app before recommending it to clients. I'm not a fan of self help apps but this one is different. It's educational, interactive, and most of all it works. I thought I was an expert on sleep hygiene but it appears not. I've learned lots of new techniques and this app is really improving my sleep. You have to put some work into completing diaries and sessions but you have to put effort into anything worth while. This is the only app I recommend and I recommend it highly.

Hello Crabbitwoman - Thank you so much for your kind words! We're glad to hear that the techniques you were introduced to in the program are proving helpful to you. We hope you continue to see improvements in your sleep. If we can ever be of help in the future, please email us at hello@sleepio.com. We're always happy to assist!

Helpful and user friendly

I have found Sleepio App is helpful to steer sleep issues in a more positive direction. In particular it's helped me with challenging negative thoughts and feelings about my sleep. It's easy to keep the sleep diary due to simple format in app.

I look forward to the weekly sessions, hearing feedback on my progress and while there are some obvious factors (like bedroom environment), surprising science backed ideas and techniques that are not so known.

I would like option to have the session available the same day/time each week, but if you access it a bit later, eg Tues pm, the app doesn't give you that option to access before Tues am the following week. I would also prefer if there was a short mid-week check in with assessment, reminders and encouragement.

Recommend employers to support their staff with this app and will help mindset and productivity, as many people have sleep issues either in short or long term. My sleep hours and efficiency have objectively increased in just a few weeks of use, even though I have some physical health reasons for poor sleep.

Hello - Thank you for taking the time to review Sleepio! We're glad to hear that the techniques you were introduced to in the program are proving helpful to you. We hope you continue to see improvements in your sleep. For assistance with your suggestions/preferences, please email us at hello@sleepio.com. We're always happy to help!

Central Bedfordshire County Council is committed to embedding a therapeutic understanding of the development and education of children and young people. Our overarching aim is for all children living in Central Bedfordshire to have the opportunity to flourish in their local school or setting, where they are understood, have their needs met, and where they are prepared for the next stage in their education and lives.

SNAP Parent Carer Forum (SNAP PFC) noted a gap in provision and support for children and young people with autism and social, emotional, and mental health (SEMH) in the local area. As a result, SNAP PFC recommended that the Local Authority consider the feasibility of introducing Therapeutic Thinking as an approach to supporting children and young people (CYP) with SEMH needs in schools a part of their position statement Cavendish School Position Statement

As a result of this feedback, we worked with SNAP PCF and colleagues across education, health, and care to introduce Therapeutic Thinking, utilising funding provided by the Department for Education through their " Developing Better Values " programme.

Central Bedfordshire Therapeutic Thinking (TT) is an approach which focuses on how all children and young people can be supported in schools and other settings, particularly in terms of their emotional wellbeing and mental health. The programme also helps to develop an understanding of how to respond to those who may be communicating through their behaviour.

TT is a school-led ethos that is characterised by an inclusive culture and underpinned by best practice, policies, and planning. The approach uses a range of resources to analyse a pupil's behaviour to better understand their needs. This supports better planning for the pupil, their class and the wider school or setting, helping to prevent difficult or dangerous situations from occurring by highlighting the learning or experiences that the pupil needs.

Who is the training for?

Since Central Bedfordshire Therapeutic Thinking involves a whole-school approach which often requires a change in culture and almost certainly some changes in policy, it is strongly recommended that the Headteacher of a school or setting attends the training. It is difficult to achieve any movement in culture without a top-down approach.

All adults in a setting should be trained as practitioners, including the Headteacher, senior leaders, governors,' teachers, teaching assistants, midday supervisors and where possible catering staff, office, or administrative staff. The Therapeutic Thinking approach works best when all staff understand the ethos and language involved, supported by senior management, policies, and plans.

Aims

By supporting schools and settings to implement and embed Central Bedfordshire Therapeutic Thinking within their organisation, Central Bedfordshire County Council aims to:

develop a common language and joint approach that is followed by all professionals in Central Bedfordshire, thereby supporting consistency within and across services.

support schools and settings with developing a therapeutic approach to behaviour.

improve staff confidence and safety.

reduce suspensions and exclusions by considering more inclusive alternatives.

Testimonials
This is a fantastic course and will replace, coalesce and improve our whole approach to training staff at XXX. Wonderful stuff. A wonderful three days that has left me inspired to support schools in 'getting it right' for all children. Thank you! This training was inspirational and thought provoking. I feel really enthusiastic about supporting our EY settings and schools (Yr. R) in really understanding children, their feelings and their behaviours. It was the most invaluable CPD - Adam is an amazing tutor! This is a really exciting initiative - and it's so exciting that it is going to be adopted cohesively across CBC. I have tried to support my school with some of the strategies suggested but to have them confirmed and extended has been reassuring. In my opinion Therapeutic thinking should be part of initial teacher training programmes. Incredible training. Cannot wait to share with the rest of the staff body. Thank you so much.
National context

Central Bedfordshire County Council is working alongside ten other counties who have either embedded the therapeutic thinking approach across their county or are on their journey to do so. Each county has a Therapeutic Thinking Lead who meets regularly with other county leads to share experiences, expertise, and resources.

Training model

Any school or setting in Central Bedfordshire can book a place on training via Learning Management System This includes maintained schools, academies, free schools, special schools, independent schools, and alternative provision. We also provide training for Central Bedfordshire partners.

Training is delivered via a short cascade model and led by a Director from Therapeutic Thinking Ltd, an external consultancy who initially developed the approach. A Local Authority representative will also be at the training to answer questions and comment on any county-based queries and provide the local perspective.

The course is initially aimed at Headteachers and other senior leaders, including Inclusion Leads and SENCos. We always encourage a Headteacher to attend first to lead cultural change, other staff members are welcome to attend with their Headteacher or once initial training has been completed.

Three-day tutor training course

Attendees must attend all three days to be certificated as a Central Bedfordshire Therapeutic Thinking tutor. Tutors will be able to lead practitioner training within their own school or setting. This means delivering one six-hour or two three-hour sessions back to all staff members.

The training is delivered using PowerPoint, group work and discussion. Prior to the training taking place, attendees are provided with an electronic version of the PowerPoints. It is recommended that these are printed in black and white, three slides to a side and brought to the training session for notetaking purposes.

The training consists of the following:
Engagement modules
These enable attendees to understand the principles behind the therapeutic approach, provide thinking models to frame that understanding, and underline the importance of the therapeutic thinking philosophy being embraced by all staff members and embedded in the school or setting.
Analysis and planning modules
The sharing of a range of resources to analyse behaviour with guidance on how to use them effectively.

On day three, attendees will deliver a short presentation to the group on one key concept learnt over the previous two days. Each presentation lasts no longer than ten minutes. This is an essential part of the course and the presentation, resources, and time to prepare are included within the training.
Training format
Training starts at 09:15 each day, ending no later than 16:00. Presenters are available from 09:00. 'Hybrid' training entails day one taking place face to face, and days two and three delivered online via Microsoft Teams.

To maintain accreditation, tutors will need to attend an annual refresher which will review existing knowledge as well as introduce new information.
One-day refresher course
Refresher training within 12-15 months is required to maintain accreditation, have access to the Tutor Networking group and lead training in a school or setting.

The training is delivered using PowerPoint with some short activities. Prior to the training taking place, attendees are provided with an electronic version of the PowerPoint. It is recommended that these are printed in black and white, three slides to a side, so that they can be used during the training session for notetaking purposes.

Training starts at 09:15 each day, ending no later than 16:00. Presenters are available from 09:00. There are two options for accessing training.
Post- training support
Tutors will have access to an online repository of all required information and documents hosted on SharePoint for the duration of their accreditation. Additionally, tutors will be invited to optional free, online 'bitesize' training sessions and have access to 'toolkit' training which goes into a little more detail on how to complete the analysis tools.

Each school or setting with a current TT tutor will also have access to policy writing support, risk reduction plan QA and guides and escorts training, alongside other offers.
Practitioner training
For members of staff new to a Central Bedfordshire Therapeutic Thinking trained school or setting, this online, six-hour practitioner training will include an overview of the Central Bedfordshire Therapeutic Thinking theory

This is particularly useful when a school or setting has already delivered their six-hour whole-school training and have new members of staff or have members of staff who would like to refresh their knowledge. Training will include a practitioner certificate to confirm attendance and participation.
NB. Attendees will not be accredited to cascade training in school. Whole-school practitioner training
Central Bedfordshire County Council recognises that the most effective way to support schools and settings in embedding Therapeutic Thinking is to collaborate with them.

We are therefore offering to support the delivery of initial six-hour whole-school training where schools are new to the programme. This could be a facilitation approach, a tag-team model, a silent partner, or something else which may suit a tutor's particular situation in their school or setting.
Accessing additional support
Central Bedfordshire County Council understands that implementing Therapeutic Thinking across a school or setting will take time and support. Our team is here to assist with that journey.

FAQ
Q: Who delivers the training?
A: The three-day training is delivered by Therapeutic Thinking Ltd, an external consultancy. A Local Authority representative will also be at the training to answer questions and comment on any county-based queries and provide the local perspective.
Q: How does Central Bedfordshire Therapeutic Thinking sit nationally?
A: Central Bedfordshire County Council is working alongside other counties that have either embedded Therapeutic Thinking or are on their journey to doing so. We have regular meetings and share resources and expertise.
Q: Can tutors ask for support in delivering training or if they have questions about Therapeutic Thinking?
A: Absolutely. Please contact crystal.elkabass@centralbedfordshire.gov.uk or gayle.raybould@centralbedfordshire.gov.uk for more information.
Q: Does Therapeutic Thinking really help reduce exclusions?
A: We have data from a variety of local authorities which demonstrate that where it is embedded, suspensions and permanent exclusions have dropped dramatically.
Q: Can Therapeutic Thinking tutors train other schools in their Multi-Academy Trust?
A: Multi Academy Trusts and Federations should aim to have a minimum of 1 tutor per school who may network across the MAT or Federation
Q: Can tutors train as many staff as they like at once?
A: The preferred ratio is two tutors to a maximum of 36 delegates. Tutors can discuss training group sizes larger than this by contacting crystal.elkabass@centralbedfordshire.gov.uk or gayle.raybould@centralbedfordshire.gov.uk for more information
Q: Can tutors add in their own examples into the Therapeutic Thinking PowerPoint?
A: No. The slides must not be altered in any way. Additional information can be presented as professional opinion but must not be added to the PowerPoint.
Q: Can tutors change the PowerPoint slides?
A: No. There must be no material changes or additions to the PowerPoints. Slides may be re-arranged or delivered in a different order to personalise delivery. Slides marked with a tick are compulsory. All other slides are optional and may be turned off.
Q: Can tutors choose the bits of Therapeutic Thinking that will work for their school?
A: Most schools embark on a journey, which looks different depending on the school or setting. Some settings choose to wholeheartedly embrace all the tools and practice. Some prefer a 'nudging' approach where they introduce ideas and elements at the most appropriate time in their setting.
Q: Will Therapeutic Thinking be compatible with my current records and behaviour logs?
A: Schools may need to re-think how they view and record incidents, depending on the current systems and format used. The approach encourages non-judgemental, accurate description of behaviours, alongside a reflect, restore, and repair methodology.
Q: Will the behaviour policy need to be re-written?
A: Probably. Tutors will certainly need to do a 'highlighter test' to check that all policies and plans are written to provide a comprehensive, clear, and unambiguous set of instructions and planned response for staff's reference.
Q: Can tutors have another copy of the forms or PowerPoints if they've been lost?
A: Tutors have access to a resource area hosted on SharePoint, which contains all PowerPoints, referenced materials, audience information and additional resources. Any difficulties accessing SharePoint please contact crystal.elkabass@centralbedfordshire.gov.uk or gayle.raybould@centralbedfordshire.gov.uk
Q: If a tutor cannot attend the whole three days' training, can they catch up at a later date?
A: Yes, but the preferred option is for a tutor to complete the full three-day course at the same time, and this should be considered when booking a course. If training dates clash with another commitment, please book a different course. Central Bedfordshire County Council will do its best to catch up any training missed due to unforeseen circumstances.
Q: If a tutor has undertaken Therapeutic Thinking training previously in another county, can they transfer the accreditation?
A: Tutors in this situation should contact crystal.elkabass@centralbedfordshire.gov.uk or gayle.raybould@centralbedfordshire.gov.uk as this will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
Q: If a member of staff is not a Central Bedfordshire Therapeutic Thinking tutor but knows lots about therapeutic thinking, can they just do the refresher?
A: No. Refreshers can only be attended by trained tutors.
Q: If a tutor has trained as a Therapeutic Thinking tutor in a Central Bedfordshire school and moves to another Central Bedfordshire school, can they train the staff members?
A: Yes, if their tutor certificate is still current.

Strut Safe is a UK-wide phone line. If you're walking alone, our volunteers will be a friendly voice to keep you company and help you feel safe until you are through the door.

Strut Safe is proud to be the winner of the 2023 Young Scot Community Award.

Strut Safe is a not-for-profit Community Interest Company. Company number SC736453.

Strut Safe is a volunteer-operated and non-judgemental support line. We will stay on the phone with you until you arrive safely at your destination, no matter where you are going or where you have come from. We stand in solidarity with marginalised people and are unaligned with the police. We provide kindness and reassurance to anyone who needs it during their travels.

Calls to Strut Safe can be made from anywhere in the UK and are almost always free, as they are included in phone packages with free minutes. If you do not have inclusive minutes, calls will be at the standard 03 rate for your mobile contract. When you call Strut Safe, our automated system will transfer you to an available volunteer. Our volunteer will ask your name and location, then chat to you about whatever you want until you are safely through the door. All of our volunteers go through a thorough interview and training process and they all hold valid Disclosure and Barring Service certificates. If no volunteers are available when you call, you can choose to either leave a message or to hear a list of other phone lines that are open.
Alongside our Leadership Team, Strut Safe has 80 additional dedicated volunteers who help with recruitment, training, outreach, fundraising, and of course answering your calls.
Strut Safe is a not-for-profit Community Interest Company. Company number SC736453.

Thank you for supporting Strut Safe. The helpline costs £500 per month to run and we rely entirely on donations to keep answering your calls. At present, our phone line is open three nights a week and every single member of the team is unpaid. We hope to one day offer an expanded service open on more weeknights, and provide a fair wage to our directors and heads of department so that they can dedicate more time and energy to improving our service. Your donations can help to make these dreams a reality.

If you're not in a position to support us finanically, you can still help us out!

Strut Safe operates a UK-wide phone line for those out alone at night. The phone line is open Fridays and Saturdays from 7pm to 3am and Sundays from 7pm to 1am.

Mission Statement
Strut Safe is a volunteer-operated and non-judgemental support line. We will stay on the phone with you until you arrive safely at your destination, no matter where you are going or where you have come from.

Strut Safe is a not-for-profit Community Interest Company. Company number SC736453.

All Strut Safe Volunteers sign and adhere to the below Code of Conduct. The Code of Conduct is designed to keep our volunteers and users safe and to keep our service consistent.

As a volunteer, we expect you to respect all those who you are working with. The safety and comfort of both our volunteers and users is of utmost importance to us. We have a zero-tolerance policy for any kind of sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or ableism. No harassment or bullying of any kind will be tolerated, and it will result in immediate dismissal and potentially, further action.

Do not make any romantic or sexual advances towards any of your fellow volunteers or the organisation's users. We are not a dating service. Once again, we are committed to the safety and comfort of our volunteers and users. Do not try to contact users and be respectful to your fellow volunteers.

Do not accept any money or gifts of any kind from the users and keep all exchanges professional.

Volunteers must be familiar with all of Strut Safe's policies and training before starting.

If you cannot make your volunteer shift, let a scheduling officer or a Strut Safe contact know as soon as possible, so they have plenty of time to find a replacement.

It is strictly prohibited for you to attend a volunteer shift while intoxicated with alcohol or any legal or illegal drugs/substances. You may also not drink or take substances during your shift. Doing so will result in immediate dismissal. If your circumstances have changed and you will not be able to make your shift sober or believe you will not be able to remain sober during your shift, then notify a scheduling officer or a Strut Safe contact immediately so they may find a replacement.

All Strut Safe volunteers sign to agree to the below Zero Tolerance Policy:

Members of Strut Safe are expected to conduct themselves in an orderly manner, and respect the right of all Users as deserving of a safe environment, defined as a space which is welcoming and includes the prohibition of discriminatory language and actions.

Strut Safe will tolerate absolutely zero discrimination based on a person's social background, including, but not limited to, their gender identity; age; race; sex; skin colour; nationality; culture; religious beliefs; socio-economic background; physical ability; sexual orientation; and/or family situation.

If a Volunteer violates these guidelines, the Board Members shall have the right to bar the Volunteer from participating in Strut Safe, either for a prescribed period of time or indefinitely, depending on the severity of the violation. The Board Members and/or Welfare Officer(s) have the right to remove any comments deemed discriminatory and can decide to block any member or person who continues to publish offensive or indecent posts.

We maintain that some comments (e.g. threats of violence and other attacks on the safety and wellbeing of a User, Volunteer or Board Member) are unacceptable, and if such comments are made the member will be banned from volunteering for Strut Safe in any capacity.

Strut Safe also reserves the right to refuse a Volunteer role to a person who has been known to have egregiously violated our Zero Tolerance Policy outside of Strut Safe activities and whom we believe would continue to breach safe space within the society, and would cause stress to existing members.

In the event that a User is repeatedly disrespectful or harmful to a Volunteer, Strut Safe reserves the right to ban that User and refuse them future service. The Strut Safe Directors may pursue a more formal action against any User who harms a Strut Safe Volunteer or another User, provided that the act is of a great severity.

We prioritise the needs of people who have experienced oppression and provide them with a space in which their voices can be heard and feel safe. Aggressive behaviour is not conducive to this, and airing belittling views or impinging on another's right to speak will not be tolerated

The Zero Tolerance policy will be in force in each activity undertaken by Strut Safe. Should a problem arise during an excursion, at an event or in any online spaces facilitated by Strut Safe, the Board of Directors should be made aware and will discuss the problem, and in some cases, someone may be asked to leave. It is the responsibility of the Board of Directors and all Volunteers to uphold the Zero Tolerance Policy.

If the need arises, volunteers may raise a concern or comment with the board via the Strut Safe Feedback Form. Anonymous submissions are welcome.
