Watch Promo Enroll in Course
Do you often chair partnership meetings but do not feel entirely confident in the role, perhaps feeling like the meeting isn’t as effective as it could be?
Are you considering stepping into a chair role and want to make sure you have the skills to do so confidently and effectively?
Do you regularly attend partnership meetings and feel that some are ineffective, perhaps a ‘talking shop’, with missing partners and no real outcomes that lead to reduced ASB and harm for victims and communities?
As an ASB officer, you are likely to attend numerous partnership meetings, from informal coffees between Police and Housing, through to statutory required multi-agency meetings such as ASB case reviews.
Partnership meetings and multi-agency forums are a key part of ASB case management, ensuring that all known information is shared, the risk is identified and the most suitable actions are taken.
These benefits will be missed if the meetings are not run as effectively as they could be. This course will explore the signs that suggest a meeting needs improvement and the practical steps that can be taken by the chair and participants to ensure that the most positive outcomes can be achieved.
This course uses a mix of videos, exercises and quizzes to cover the following lessons:
1. Why are partnership meetings important in ASB casework
2. The good, bad and ugly of partnership meetings
3. The role of the chair
4. Practical steps to move a meeting from bad to great
Enrolment gives you instant access to:
- A video accompanying each lesson, instructed by Janine
- A downloadable workbook, including exercises which help to embed the principles covered in the videos
- A quiz to assess what you have learnt
- A certificate upon completion
- Links to useful resources

Everything needed to be able to positively influence the effectiveness of partnership forums, whether acting as the chair or a participant, ensuring the best possible outcomes for victims and communities suffering from ASB.
