Team Planning Resources
The HCN Unit has developed team planning resources that will guide interagency teams as they work to develop plans for children and young people with complex needs.
The team planning resources include a series of booklets to help collect and collate the views of the young person, their whānau / caregiver, and practitioners from different agencies so that each team member has the opportunity for their views to be clearly represented. The team analysis worksheet helps the team identify what’s working well, and what needs to change.
The resources help teams to:
- analyse and prioritise areas to be addressed
- set specific, measurable goals
- identify appropriate interventions
- be clear about how progress will be measured and monitored.
Resources:
- Team planning resources – step-by-step guide: guides the Services Coordinator through the plan development process
- Team planning resources – young person booklet: gathers the views of the child or young person, or allows a support person to gather views where the child or young person is not able to give independent feedback
- Team planning resources – caregiver booklet: gathers the views of the family, whānau and/or caregivers to contribute to the interagency plan for their child or young person
- Team planning resources – practitioner booklet: gathers the views of practitioners from their agencies’ involvement with the child or young person
- Team planning resources – team analysis and planning worksheet: provide a framework for the team to identify the concerns, what is going well, barriers to progress, and the priorities for change.

What people are telling us
We’re already receiving positive feedback about the team planning resources.
“I have found using the team planning resources extremely valuable. I am using the guide for the first time and I can only compare it to my experience of having written two previous plans without such a tool”. – Services Coordinator
“Being of a somewhat pragmatic bent, I have been really surprised how well the guide enables the development of shared understandings, collection of information and at the same time a rewarding team… for all the members of the team this has been a very positive and hugely beneficial experience. [Young person’s name] participation in meetings was very moving and he participated to a degree that surprised all those who knew him. He shared insights, his frustrations and fears, and his hope for the future were expressed at times with a clarity of thought that instilled a huge sense of optimism for change.” – Services Coordinator
