PRINCIPLES OF WORKING TOGETHER Clause Samples
The "Principles of Working Together" clause defines the foundational guidelines and expectations for how parties will collaborate throughout their relationship. It typically outlines values such as mutual respect, open communication, and cooperation, and may specify regular meetings, information sharing, or dispute resolution approaches. By establishing a shared framework for interaction, this clause helps prevent misunderstandings and fosters a productive, harmonious working environment.
PRINCIPLES OF WORKING TOGETHER. The Council and ICB jointly affirm their commitment to co-operate on matters affecting the NHS, public health, wider health issues and social care for the people of Luton, seeking to work in an open, transparent and helpful manner, with good communication and early involvement of the other parties when appropriate. This will build on existing working relationships, with officials continuing to maintain free, informal and regular contact. The parties will inform each other at the earliest reasonable opportunity of issues including the forming of policy, proposals for legislation, and the timing of public announcements - which are likely to be of mutual interest. In coming to decisions or developing policies or legislation which may have an impact financially or otherwise on other parties, or which may constrain others’ policy development, each party will seek the views of those potentially affected at the earliest reasonable opportunity and be mindful of those views in taking any decisions. In summary, to support better outcomes for Luton people: • We will align, share and pool resources, budgets and accountabilities where it improves outcomes for the people of Luton • We will focus on benefits to the public as a whole, rather than organisational interests. • We will only take decisions that we know will impact on other parts of the Health and Social Care system in an environment of informed and mutual trust • We will streamline Health and Social Care system governance to enable decisions to be taken at place, across system and pace • We recognise that there are differences in how we work and the need to design and build systems together, involving our staff to mutually recognise and respect those differences and find innovative ways to address where organisationally feasible. • We will design a system that is easy for everyone to understand and use. • We will continue to work with our Integrated Care System partners exploring opportunities to design and deliver change, at scale and at place, which will provide the greatest opportunity to improve outcomes for Luton residents.
