Collaborative Team

A collaborative team is charged with the responsibility of making decisions regarding confidentiality issues and developing policy and procedures for the exchange of information. Greenberg and Levy (1992) note that the following people could comprise an effective team:

• Educators and service providers

• High-level education and agency officials

• Line managers and staff who work directly with children and families

• Parents and child advocates

• Legislative staff

• Judges

• Management information system staff

• Attorneys

• Community participants--such as pediatricians or early childhood specialists--who have related knowledge
