| Annotation | The Single Shared assessment (SSA) is defined as a community care assessment in which more than one agency is involved and assessment information is shared across agencies. In Scotland, SSA is seen as the key to "A joint future" (policy document of the same name, the Scottish Executive, 2000). This paper briefly describes a small research study, and presents its findings on the factors that have had an impact on the implementation of single shared assessment (SSA) in co-located primary care and social work teams. Findings highlight continuing difficulties of policy implementation and the need for ongoing support, guidance and training. (KJ/RH). |
