"Agencies working together: what joint plans are for"

The purpose of joint operational agreements is to help public service agencies work together in a formal way. You can think of it as a plan that agencies follow when they collaborate with each other. This plan helps them work together smoothly.

When public service agencies make joint operational agreements, it does not stop them from also working together in informal ways. You can read more about this in sections 39 to 41. These sections explain how agencies can work together in different ways.
