One of a series of e-learning resources which explore the nature of interprofessional and inter-agency collaboration (IPIAC) and improving collaborative practice. This interactive resource uses audio, video and interactive technology to examine how agencies shape professional roles and supply key resources, the interdependence of agencies and professionals, and the importance of inter-agency collaboration in supporting and safeguarding service users. The agency and inter-agency aspects of collaboration are discussed using the situation of an older man, Norman Grant and the agencies supporting him. Mr Grant’s changing health and circumstances show that flexible and systematic inter-agency collaboration are indispensable to effective support and safeguarding.
