Abstract
The new children's legislation in Northern Ireland raises particular interprofessional issues because it is being implemented in the context of the integrated organisation of statutory health and social services, unlike its counterpart legislation in England and Wales, the Children Act 1989. This article explores issues of interprofessional partnership arising in the implementation of the Children (NI) Order 1995, in particular: defining ‘children in need’ across profesions; issues of professional language in developing a continuum of health and social services for families; and models of ‘teamwork’ in the development of integrated health and social services, particularly for children with disability.
