Work Matters: Sharing experience

Management
Bids are being invited for showing how integrated working can be achieved and what it can do to help children. Karen Faux reports.

The problems of implementing integrated working on the ground are well documented. Not only do mindsets and working cultures have to change, but practical strategies such as the Common Assessment Framework have to be embraced by a range of agencies.

As part of its drive to tackle these issues, the Children's Workforce Development Council is inviting bids for funding to help people who work with children, young people and families share their experiences of working together. Its CWDC Share! project will provide individual grants of £10,000 to nine successful sites across England.

According to CWDC, projects should demonstrate effectively how integrated working can help improve the lives of children, young people and families. They should expose the issues and barriers that organisations encounter when implementing integrated working and demonstrate how these can be overcome in working together.
