AnnotationPerceptions of partnership are an important focus of this article, which reports on a 3-year study funded by the Department of Health (DH) in its Modernising Adult Social Care (MASC) Research Programme (2003-2007). The research findings were collected through a survey of all local councils with social services responsibilities in England and Wales. Although examples of good partnership working in adult protection were found, there were hindrances to the multi-agency approach: resource pressures, insufficient information sharing, and a lack of clarity about roles and responsibilities.
