Whatever happened to teamwork? Reflections on CMHTs
- Author:
- MCGRATH Morag
- Journal article citation:
- British Journal of Social Work, 23(1), February 1993, pp.15-29.
- Publisher:
- Oxford University Press
Reports on a survey of Community Mental Handicap Teams as part of an evaluation of the All Wales Strategy. Organisational structures of CMHTs are discussed, and a framework for service planning is then outlined, focusing on the co-ordination of service delivery at a case level and on service planning and development. It is argued that whereas case co-ordination may be obtained through a key worker or case manager system, service planning and development are among the strengths of teamwork. Aspects of teamwork are then explored with reference to needs-led services, local community-based provision and consumer participation. Finally, the level of delegated authority and organisational support required to achieve an 'ideal' needs-led team is outlined.
