As we increasingly seek to provide for the needs of the whole child, there is more and more focus on agencies working together to provide a full range of services. But what does this kind of collaboration really involve?
This report provides advice and guidance about this approach. It looks at the advantages it presents, such as improved outcomes for children and families, benefits for staff and services and more efficient provision. It also examines the demands this kind of working places on leaders, drawing interesting comparisons between the challenges of parallel working and those of broader leadership change.
Most importantly the report identifies specific issues to be considered and to be aware of when leading in this environment. It also outlines a range of approaches leaders may wish to adopt to help support collaboration in school and improve the services they offer.
A vital resource for those furthering their collaborative efforts, offering a host of useful tips.
