Enhancing Frontline Advice

Are you currently involved in collaborative working, or thinking about it?

Whatever stage you're at, the Enhancing Frontline Advice team can offer you independent, practical support. Our team of development consultants across England can help you make the links with organisations local to you, and can apply our knowledge of successful partnerships to your situation.

With a team of four regional Development Consultants, we are able to offer:

  • an independent person to facilitate initial meetings between advice agencies in your areas
  • assistance in examining the impact of partnerships on your organisation's aims
  • information on the options around setting up separate legal entities
  • help with improving or setting up referral networks
  • help for you to join with others to establish local forums or reinvigorate CLSPs
  • sourcing of local support services and national projects to get you extra support
  • access to templates and toolkits on partnership working, so you don't have to start from scratch
  • knowledge of successful partnerships across the country applied to your situation
  • assistance with any barriers currently preventing you from engaging with others.

We can offer up to five days' free consultancy work for individual organisations, and up to eight days of free support to set up local forums and referral networks. To start benefiting from this support, get in touch with your regional Development Consultant:
