Multi-agency working
An effective way of supporting children and families with additional needs
Multi-agency working brings together practitioners from different sectors and professions within the workforce to provide integrated support to children and their families, for example a 'team around the child' (TAC).
It is an effective way of supporting children with additional needs and helping to secure real improvements in their life outcomes.
If you work with children, your career is not likely to involve close working with other agencies.
CWDC has worked with the Department for Education(DfE) to produce tools, advice and guidance to promote multi-agency working.
