The last four years have seen a flourish of area-based and local partnership initiatives.  Information and IT are seen as crucial to facilitate joined-up government and improved service delivery at both central and local level.  Ambitious targets are thus set to make all dealings with government deliverable electronically by 2005.  This article examines data sharing in a local partnership, using as an example the preparation of the Children's services plans 2000 - 2003 in the city of Sheffield setting out the national policy background, with particular reference to children's service plans; introduciing thr project; discussing the results obtained in the data collection exercise, and concluding that the organisational and cultural change necessary to share information effectively require time, and above all a period of relative stability to mature and take hold. - Reproduced.  aChildren  aChild welfare  aCraglia, Massimo  aLocal Government Studies  a52283  c52283d52283  00104070aIIPAbIIPAd2018-07-19hVolume no: 28, Issue no: 1pAR52713r2018-07-19w2018-07-19yAR
