Multi-agency teams
In April 2011, multi-agency teams were established in Derbyshire.These teams bring together staff from different professional backgrounds, such as education support, children's centres, health and social care under a single manager who oversees support for children, young people and families within the local community.
The team works closely with local schools and other local organisations such as Job Centre Plus, GP's and community groups in supporting local people.
The main role of the team is to support children, young people and families who have additional needs, to work with specialist services such as disability teams, and to help children and families become healthier and meet their full potential.
The creation of new teams makes it simpler for families to access and use support services.
