12.1  Any colleague should determine whether there are protocols in place before sharing information with partner agencies.

12.2  Multi-agency working is always encouraged as it can often increase the success of a positive outcome through providing tailored support, different expertise, knowledge and resources in addition to sharing of relevant evidence and information.

12.3  Multi-agency and partnership working can be facilitated in a number of ways. This may include professional relationships with local stakeholders, such as Local Policing Teams and support services, as well as more formal meetings such as MATAC, MARAC or Serious Organised Crime Joint Agency Group (SOCJAG).
