Connect with other practitioners
Collaboration across partners is key to professionals understanding their roles, knowing what services exist and understanding how to guide families to appropriate services.
Lancashire's Community of Practice connects key practitioners within the Lancashire Children, Young People and Families Partnership using Slack.
The Slack workspace provides a collaborative space where people who share the same interest (improving outcomes for children, young people and families) can gather in a virtual space to share practice and ideas.
Join the Community of Practice workspace on Slack
Any professional from any organisation, by request, can be added to the space.
The space is not a place to discuss individual cases and participants remain governed by their organisational GDPR commitments.
