Annotation	This is a practical handbook offering advice on how to achieve better, more effective local services through setting up strategic partnerships in health, social care and education services. The book is in three parts, the first being an overview in which the author explores in outline five themes: is this partnership necessary, what is its purpose, who is involved, where will it function, and how will it work? Part 2, on the strategic issues, looks in greater detail at the necessity, purpose and involvement themes in more depth. It also looks at ways in which demography and geography - boundaries and individual communities - impinge on partnerships. Part 3, on partnerships in practice, considers the processes and management of change. Appendices include examples of work in which partnership is an element. (RH).
