Good interagency working is the essential for professionals working with young people. Now, a framework has been developed by the Children’s Workforce Development Council to help managers and leaders identify the skills practitioners need. This article discusses the development of the Skills Development Framework, a non-mandatory framework to complement the specialist skills used to deliver services and used to model good joint working practice. The framework describes integrated working skills and process-related skills that support integrated working. These skills apply to all levels up to expert practitioners, mangers and leaders. The framework was developed to help those working with the development of young people operate in a collaborative, integrated way. The article describes who the framework is for, how it is used, and exactly how it promotes collaboration.

A framework for national and local action to address the specific health needs of young people and ensure their future health. It poses questions for councillors, health and wellbeing boards, commissioners, providers and education and learning settings to help them support young people to be healthy and to improve outcomes for young people. The framework builds on six core principles that cut across health topics to develop holistic approaches to meet needs. These are: focusing on what helps young people feel well and able to cope; reducing health inequalities; championing integrated services, including social services and social care; understanding changing health needs as young people develop; and delivering accessible, youth friendly services.

Aiming High: a Ten-Year Strategy for Positive Activities, published in 2007, identified a range of improvements intended to reform youth support services in England. This summary reports on a survey which examined the progress made in 11 local authority areas visited by Her Majesty's Inspectors in developing new arrangements to integrate the work of various youth support agencies. The key findings included that: in most of the areas visited, targeted support was creating more options for vulnerable young people, priority given to targeted support for a minority of young people at risk often undermined the contribution of universal youth services to the development of young people more generally, changes were taking place within the authorities visited but reforms had not yet been sufficiently consolidated at a local level, and the most responsive local areas had ensured that the voluntary and community sectors were involved in strategic planning.

Aiming High: a Ten-Year Strategy for Positive Activities, published in 2007, identified a range of improvements intended to reform youth support services in England. This survey examined the progress made in 11 local authority areas in developing new arrangements to integrate the work of various youth support agencies. Her Majesty's Inspectors visited a sample of 7 local authorities and their partners in 2009, and 4 additional local authorities in 2010. The report covers integrating support services to young people, providing targeted youth support, securing young people's access to positive activities, and involving young people as partners. The key findings included that: in most of the areas visited, targeted support was creating more options for vulnerable young people, priority given to targeted support for a minority of young people at risk often undermined the contribution of universal youth services to the development of young people more generally, changes were taking place within the authorities visited but reforms had not yet been sufficiently consolidated at a local level, and the most responsive local areas had ensured that the voluntary and community sectors were involved in strategic planning.

The film is about the integrated Sheffield Health and Social Care Trust. The challenge is to improve transition when young people are no longer eligible for services from the child and adolescent mental health team at the age of 16. Young people were getting lost in the gap between services and many were not accessing services. The aim of creating special new services is to decrease the anxiety of young people and their families and to improve the transition. Services managed by health include a transition clinic, whilst social services run a peer support group and a drop-in counselling service. Staff and young people talk about the ways in which these new services are of benefit. This film is a stand alone version of the second part of Transitions 1. The film will be useful to policy leads, managers and other staff in adult and child and adolescent mental health services. This film is now available under the title 'Transition from child and adolescent to adult mental services a young persons perspective'. (Edited publisher abstract)
