Feature of Good Practice 2: Managers from education and AHP service meet regularly and frequently to discuss partnership working both at strategic and operational levels.
These meetings take place irrespective of whether there is a financial relationship. These meetings are prioritised and where staff cannot attend the meeting they proceed with representatives from the relevant service. This sometimes means that key decisions or discussion have to be deferred. A record of these meetings is taken and shared widely with teams. A frequency of about 4 times a year, or once a school term seems appropriate

What we have learned so far….• High level of interest as relevant to
practitioners• Interest in how policy can be put into practice• Wish to link different policy agendas• Want to know what others are doing • Wish to share own practice solutions• Key emerging features of partnership working
Features of Good Practice1. Agreements between Educ. and AHPs,
structures for working together - including financial arrangements
2. Defined roles and responsibilities 3. Understanding range of AHP support e.g
universal - targeted - specialist4. AHP involved in planning – all levels,
and training /CPD5. Evaluation by service users
?
• How can we fit the partnership working project and the learning from it regarding good practice into inspection/quality improvement/assurance processes?
• How can we apply the emerging features of best practice to all joint working collaborative contracts within children’s services?
