I am writing to support this application. Turning Point has worked with Wakefield Integrated Substance Misuse Services for a number of years and we very much regard this as a true partnership and a model of integrated support that draws together partners across the statutory and third sector in order to provide integrated and personalised support to clients.

There is a joint recognition and shared understanding of the different roles and responsibilities of each partner and what they bring to the table, a willingness to share information and systems, effective communication and collaboration and to jointly develop an established evidence base of how joint working can improve the range of interventions offered and so maximise the outcomes for the end user.
