•Young people receiving treatment:
•1. Aged 12-18 years
•2. Seeking help for low mood (as the primary presenting difficulty)
•3. Able to provide written informed consent or, for under 16s, written informed assent and parent/guardian consent
•4. Of a level of illness where they would normally receive treatment from the service
•Please note: this age range of 12-18 only applies to the young people receiving IPC. There will not be an age eligibility criterion for therapists/parents

•Young people receiving treatment:
•1. Learning disability necessitating non-mainstream schooling
•2. Current psychotic disorder
•3. Current substance dependence
•4. Current significant suicidal ideation (K-SADS-PL – ‘suicidal ideation’ threshold – ‘often thinks of suicide and has thought of a specific method’)
•Please note: there will not be a numerical upper severity threshold. The upper threshold comes under 'Of a level of illness where they would normally receive treatment from the service'. An interesting outcome of our initial IPC single-arm pilot was that some young people with severe depression (according to ratings questionnaires) are routinely treated by Suffolk Young Person's Services. Reasons are multiple. It is important to examine this in the wider range of services in the planned study. But the purpose of this study is not to examine/change referral thresholds but to investigate optimal treatments for young people in this service.
