This paper asserts that the impact tends to be most effective when organisations, national and local, work collaboratively in ways that involve local communities.

In the context of increased devolution and delegated adult education budgets to local areas, this paper asks:
  • What are the shared values and benefits of collaborative working between the primary care mental health service and adult and community learning sectors?
  • What could a shared vision of collaborative working between the two sectors look like?
  • What are the key leadership characteristics needed to make such a vision the reality?

The purpose of the research is to stimulate stakeholders to reflect strategically on the values of joint work, create a new vision of partnership working between the adult education and health sectors and begin to articulate the leadership characteristics necessary for developing this vision. The main ambition of this new vision is to accomplish improved outcomes for adults with mild and moderate mental health issues through more effective collaboration between the sectors.]]> 2018-10-09 22:40:15 UTC https://padlet.com/Librarycat/Dragana_FETL_Research/wish/291021794
