Module abstract
Multi-agency working is a key aspect of professional practice across all services and disciplines as reflected in a range of government policies. For example, the Department for Education and the Department of Health and Social Care published a statutory guidance document, the SEND code of practice: 0 to 25 years Guidance on the special educational needs and disability (SEND) system for children and young people aged 0 to 25, from 1 September 2014. This brought together professionals working with children and young people and facilitated multi-professional working between professionals. However, 10 years on, there are still challenges in multi-disciplinary relationships, adversely impacting outcomes for children, young people and adults accessing services from various professions, contrary to views that saw inclusion through collaboration as the best strategy to bring down barriers to full access to services by all, regardless of ability, age, gender or race. The Health and Care Act (2022) and the current government strategy 2021-2026 for Autism stemmed from the persistent need to raise professionals’ awareness of Autism related gaps in knowledge and skills. This module will enable you to examine mandatory entitlement to fair access to services through multi-professional working, and the obligations on all professionals working in diverse disciplines across all age groups to continually develop their skills to ensure best outcomes for the people in their care. All your learning will relate to the protected characteristics upon which discrimination has historically been based.
