Declarations

:

: This manuscript is not reporting findings from a project. It is reporting insights from a PPI activity that is being used to inform, develop and support the ENHANCE evaluation. No data was collected that formed research. The evaluation forms provided at the end were simply feedback forms, for the research team to reflect on the PPI approach, and gain feedback for the families’ perceptions of the residential activity. Ethical approval is gained for the wider project data collection (e.g. ER66684428 from Sheffield Hallam University’s ethics approval process) but is not required for PPI activity. See NIHR guidance for more information, for example: . NIHR guidelines for PPI were adhered to since the conception of ENHANCE, throughout the residential weekend and continue to be followed to this day for all ongoing PPI work with ARROWS in ENHANCE. All ARROWS members were recruited by KS as part of the wider ENHANCE evaluation, which was done up to a year prior to the residential activity being reported here. KS is an experienced practitioner with WMS and who is working as a PPI coordinator on ENHANCE. Consent and sign up was provided by young people and or their parents / carers prior to any sessions taking place.
