York's Model of Joint Partnership working (co-production)
Model of Joint Partnership
The model of Joint Partnership has been designed, so it can be used by all stakeholders and incorporates a range of approaches which should be used to inform processes. The model is separated into 2 sections: individual Joint Partnership and strategic.
Individual Joint Partnership working
Individual Joint Partnership working involves developing “something” with a child and their parent that directly affects them. For example, an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) or annual review.
