About This Publication
Collaboration between organisations and groups from the public, private and voluntary sectors has been particularly encouraged in Britain’s most disadvantaged communities. This practical guide offers insights into the possibilities and problems of working in partnership. It brings together different aspects of partnership: what it is; why we should do it; how to get started; supporting and developing the partnership; assessing its value and keeping it going. With the help of checklists and practical examples it offers insights, advice and resources for effective partnership working, especially with adult and community groups.
