How to make multiprofessional teams and partnerships work
an action pack for piloting
This Action Pack is the result of a combination of collaborative enquiry and learning with
five different partnerships across England spread over one year. Participants worked
together in a Change Project group to explore ideas about promoting better partnership
working inside their teams or services for staff working on the front line. The learning
generated in this group, both in their work on their projects in their agencies, and in the
group sessions, has been translated into this guidance and set of tools.
The Action Pack seeks to answer the following crucial questions:
What does effective joined-up working look and feel like in practice?
What are the dilemmas faced by professionals trying to make those teams and partnerships work?
How can these dilemmas be resolved?
What are the lessons, implications and recommendations for effective practice?
The Action Pack will be re-written after it has been piloted in the research in practice
network during 2008. The defining feature of these Handbooks is that they
originate in practical work conducted in Change Projects with agencies in the research in
practice network. The materials generated for this Action Pack will be piloted with a
wider group of Partner agencies before being revised and republished as a Handbook in
2009.
