Pension, Disability and Carers Service partnerships research
by Suzanne Hall, Stephen Bell, Paul Carroll and Jayesh Shah
The Pension, Disability and Carers Service (PDCS) believes that to be successful in achieving its objectives and delivering its vision of 'Working together to make lives better', it will need to work effectively with a greater number and range of partners. Having effective partnerships can help PDCS to reach more vulnerable groups who may be reticent about approaching a Government agency and third sector organisations can help the PDCS learn more about the customers it serves. Furthermore, by engaging effectively with third sector organisations it may be possible to determine how national policies will work at a local level, and ensure that the design of these policies and their application is as effective as possible.
PDCS commissioned this piece of research to explore external organisations' perceptions of the efficacy of PDCS partnerships activity, consultation and working relations.
