Review :
'To be blunt I believe we should no longer tolerate vulnerable people being exposed to even greater danger, abuse or exploitation because of the failure of key organisations and their staff being unable, or unwilling, to work effectively across organisational boundaries. Anthony Douglas is to be congratulated on producing a well researched, timely, practical and instructive book on successful partnership working. It can be done. I hope that the "Good Practice" outlined in this valuable book soon becomes standard practice everywhere.' Lord Laming, Chair of the Victoria Climbie Inquiry 'The book provides a lively, clearly written, and comprehensive overview of the issues around partnership working. Importantly, it covers partnerships with family members as well as partnerships with colleagues. Coming from an author steeped in the issues and debates, it will be valued by politicians, commissioners and practitioners working in the helping professions. It is also a highly readable resource for those new to the subject on social science and qualifying courses.' June Thoburn, Emeritus Professor of Social Work, University of East Anglia
