The Integration Dilemma: How Deep and how Broad to go?

Following fundamental reviews and reform of services for children and for adults, there is increased recognition of the importance of the integration of front‐line services. Against this background, this article summarises recent changes and considers the tensions that will need resolving as services implement their new structures. In particular, the paper presents a framework for helping to consider the nature of the partners that services may need to engage (how broad?) and the type of relationships they will need (how deep?).
