Multi-Agency Working Sample Clauses

Multi-Agency Working. Substance misuse issues are seldom found in isolation, with links to poverty, poor health, abuse, unstable house or homeless and family and relationship issues. Whilst the core business of the treatment system is to deliver a specialist substance misuse service and recovery for Service users, sustainable recovery can only be achieved by addressing these wider issues in service users lives, developing recovery capital and encouraging people to reach their full potential. The provider will therefore need to take these issues into account when designing service delivery by coordinating care and building productive working relationships with agencies whose core business is to provide support and interventions on these wider issues. These partnerships will require activity in the following areas: ● Productive working relationships supported by pathways, protocols and effective communication mechanisms. ● Engagement and attendance at key partner agency groups that facilitate recovery co-ordination. ● Engagement in multi-agency case conference’s such MARAC, MAPPA, Child Protection conferences and Safeguarding Adults conferences etc. In order to provide a holistic approach to meet the needs of the service user, the provider will be required to develop the following joint working arrangements.
