Description: "Many health, education and social service initiatives aim to implement better multi-agency working between agencies and professionals. But what difference does this sort of organisational change make to those families and children on the receiving end? Making a difference? explores the process and impact of multi-agency working on disabled children with complex health care needs and the families and professionals who support them." "Making a difference? is essential reading for practitioners, managers and policy makers wishing to achieve positive change for families and children through a multi-agency approach. It has wide applicability to many service sectors and will be of particular interest to those who are involved in setting up integrated services such as children's trusts."--BOOK JACKET.
