The New Multi‐Agency Working: Collaborating to Prevent the Social Exclusion of Children and Families
Abstract
The paper focuses on preventative services for children, young people and families. It argues that client‐led service provision calls for flexibility from service providers, using the distributed expertise to be found across the professions involved and a high degree of interprofessional trust. All this, in turn, requires a systemic response from the major agencies if they are to support this new professionalism.
