Leicestershire Together also developed a Partnership Self Assessment Toolkit to assist partnerships at all levels to evaluate their structures, processes and ways of working.

Last, but not least, we have also provided some information about working in partnership in our Partnership Guidance section. Read this to find out more about when and why you should enter into a partnership, and the issues and challenges of working in partnership.
