title: Models of interprofessional working within a Sure Start "Trailblazer" Programme.
abstract: This paper evaluates interprofessional working within a Sure Start "trailblazer" programme based upon definitions of multi-, inter- and trans-disciplinary practice. Examples of practice from within the programme include professionals working towards family support and child protection objectives, providing a forum for child and family referral and a programme to promote mother-child bonding. Findings are discussed in the context of linking interprofessionality with government target-setting, professional identity and values and integrated working practice for Sure Start/Children's Centres.
