- Success factors and barriers to interagency collaboration: identifies the keys to achieving effective collaboration and the challenges faced
- Evaluating collaboration: examines the outcomes reported from collaborative working and the challenges that arise in evaluating collaboration
- Practical strategies for enhancing collaboration: summarises the practical recommendations made in the report to enhance collaboration.
