Those working in the field of housing, care and support face ever increasing pressures to deliver high quality services that are sensitive to the needs of service users, make best use of available resources, and can be demonstrated to be efficient and effective. The purpose of this guide - organised in five modules - is to give staff responsible for setting up and running joint projects the resources they need to do this.

Central to the guide are the themes of partnership working and strategies and processes for developing strong working relationships between the statutory and non-statutory partners in housing, health care and social services. To do this the guide explores ways in which agencies can work towards common objectives through: well organised project management; positive joint working; commitment to user involvement; effective monitoring and evaluation; and appropriate information technology systems.
