Multi-agency working

No single agency or individual can see the complete picture of the life of a resident, but all may have insights and can provide interventions that are crucial to their safety and wellbeing. 

 Working closely with other services and agencies to deliver a coordinated approach is essential when responding to a tenant’s vulnerability. 

All professionals working within a multi-agency framework should: 

  • Share proportionate and relevant information 

  • Take part in joint assessments or multi-disciplinary meetings  

  • Provide an integrated service delivery to the tenant and household 

  • Agree upon designated lead professional coordinating the response and acting as a central point of contact with the tenant or household 

  • Have open communication and space for reflection together
