Abstract

The quality of collaborative links between the NHS and Social Services in the field of child mental health is dependent on the culture of co-operation set at the highest level of government. There needs to be an understanding of the different theoretical models that underpin working practices. The importance of personality factors, power struggles and misperceptions is highlighted. Constructive suggestions are made on how to ensure that collaboration works effectively.
