Abstract
This review sets out to examine the published literature on the leadership qualities critical to developing integrated children's services, and how these qualities are best developed. In order to do this it asked two questions:
i) What is 'integration' in the children?s services and what aspects of 'integration' need to be developed to lead to better services? ii) How can people be supported to lead improvement in services? How can the sorts of activities required, and the people that might do them, be categorised in order that some coherent workforce development programme be implemented?
