Team Around Me

Team Around Me: A model for multi-agency working for and with people experiencing multiple disadvantage 

Team Around Me

On this tile you can find an overview of Team Around Me (TAM). TAM has been designed for people experiencing multiple disadvantage – a combination of social problems such as homelessness, substance use and mental ill health.

After the meeting, the professional in charge of minutes should write up clear, concise minutes from the meeting, using the TAM form, and circulate to those in attendance via email within 48 hours. 

For any challenges which the group were not able to make progress with – for example, because they are part of a wider more systemic problem, or caused by a local issue that no one at the meeting has the power to change, the challenge should be logged. Different services and areas will have different systems in place for logging your challenges – speak to your manager for more information. Over time, collecting this information will form a useful data set which services can take to organisational leads and/or commissioners, to evidence the need for changes that need to happen/services that need to be made available.
