The review aims to point to examples, raise issues and look critically at evidence but makes no claims to be exhaustive.

Research project that explored how interagency working could put such policy and guidance into practice and considered what this work might look like at grassroots level.

The methodology was found to be effective as it supported the aims and objectives of the research. It also empowered the researchers and the research participants developing practice.
