Report of a NISW research and development project looking at the interfaces within and between services for families where a parent has a persistent mental health, alcohol or drug problem. Services that have been set up to help the children and parents in such families are located in and administered by a number of different organisations. Effective collaboration, joint working across the many interfaces, and a focus on the family as a whole are essential if children and their parents are to receive appropriate help, advice and guidance.

This article looks at the role of the specialist dual diagnosis worker in North Wales and how the appointee to this role had been able to facilitate the seamless transition of these individuals through the 'system' of mental health care. This process has been facilitated by the development of an Integrated Pathway of Care, which has been devised by the authors and called the Triangular Treatment Paradigm.

One of the challenges for services in the UK has been how best to meet the needs of those people who experience severe mental health problems and use drugs and alcohol problematically. An 'integrated shared care' model was developed to complement the existing service provision. The model aimed to achieve integration of treatment both at the level of the clinician and service. The key principle underlying this integration is that both mental health and substance misuse problems and the relationship between the two are addressed simultaneously by the mainstream mental health clinician. However, in some cases, more specialist input might be required, and this can be achieved through shared care between mental health and addiction services. Sharing care between service levels means that agreed protocols need to be in place for closer and/or joint working between mental health and substance misuse services.

Looks at some of the findings from a research report by Shelter, which suggests joint working between housing and social services departments is proving difficult. Confusion over confidentiality rules and desire to protect clients' personal details has lead to reluctance of social services departments to share information despite the Homelessness Act 2002.

This textbook brings together the theory, policy and skills relevant to working in a multi-agency setting within the criminal justice system. It is published at a particularly relevant time as the professional qualifying arrangements for probation officers are changing and a “mixed economy” of correctional practice is emerging. Wide-ranging chapters provide in-depth reviews and important insights into multi-agency work in this environment and acknowledge the challenges and tensions inherent in recent developments. The authors outline the legislative and policy framework in the criminal justice system and evaluate professional and organisational conflicts within multi agency contexts. They also highlight key offender groups and issues associated with desistance from crime. The book is expected to be a valuable resource for academics and students and key reading for policy makers, managers and practitioners involved in or studying correctional work, through the Probation or Prison services, or other agencies.

This collection of articles aims at highlighting good practice in working with people who have alcohol, drug or mental health problems, or a combination of all three. It includes a definition of multiple needs, the future of services, supporting people with multiple needs in their tenancies, specialist provision. Project staff have spent time working with member agencies to identify innovation and broad lessons to be learned by all agencies working with this client group. In particular, the research report, based on a questionnaire we conducted with members, highlights where access to services is currently weak and the briefing shows what can be done by both statutory and voluntary agencies to support often very vulnerable individuals with multiple needs.
