Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

2. Diagnosis of OCD (identified from the ADIS-P).
3. UK-resident. Parents


1. Parent/legal guardian of the child.

Exclusion Criteria

Children

1. Suicidal intent.
2. Recurrent or potentially life limiting self-harm.
3. Significant safeguarding concerns (i.e., if the child has a child protection plan and/or is on the child protection register, and/or the research team consider the child to be suffering, or likely to suffer, significant harm).
3. If children have been prescribed psychotropic medication, the dosage must have been stable for two months.
4. Children who are currently receiving other psychological support/interventions delivered by a mental health professional.
