N2  - This report aims to provide a synthesis of research information to suggest the most important components of Multi-Disciplinary Team responses in order to inform the ongoing review of the Joint Investigation Response Team (JIRT) model by the NSW Ombudsman’s Office. Drawing on recently completed studies of multi-disciplinary teams and new research, this report presents findings on: (a) What is the evidence for the effectiveness of Multi-Disciplinary Teams, and what characteristics are consistent across effective Multi-Disciplinary Teams; (b) What Multi-Disciplinary Team responses to abuse are in use in Australia and comparable international jurisdictions; and (c) The rationale for Multi-Disciplinary Team models. The report ends with a summary of the implications of this information for the current review of the JIRT model. (From the Executive summary). Record #5654
