Weeks of Action
Guidance 2007
This guidance is intended to assist all partners and stakeholders in developing and implementing Weeks of Action, whatever their knowledge level of partnership working at the outset. It is not intended to be prescriptive or to give a step-by-step guide that will suit all partnerships. Rather it is a tool from which information can be drawn and used as appropriate and a model that can be adapted to suit local needs, contexts and priorities. It has been drawn together by central Home Office officials with significant members of CDP Nottingham and, with some consultation with other practitioners.
