The aim of the collaboration is to develop multi-disciplinary, community- based teams in each of the four localities across the city. We aim to address the “missing middle” between universal and statutory services, offering reflexive, whole family support, which is empowering, relationship-based, rooted in GIRFEC and which builds upon existing universal services.
