INTRODUCTION
Inter-agency working is an agency that works with more than one agency working
together in a prearranged and conventional way, rather than simply via unceremonious
networking. This agency is majorly work at strategic and operational level. Frequently, when
multiple services are needed, the potencies of anyone services are associated with the availability
and the potencies of the other services required by the family (Al Shamsi and et. al., 2020). Inter-
agency co-action declines the duplication of services and majorly allows for greater potencies in
usage of state-supported and public resources. The report entails the evaluation of complex
challenges and opportunities of inter-agency working with specific emphasis on the distinct
cultural requirements Ahmed and Reshma must cope up within UK (Amer, 2019). The report
also comprises varied and complex need provided by a range of agencies within the nation and
other several government initiatives issued with many policies to improve the effectiveness in
healthcare services.
Question 1
Evaluate the complex challenges and opportunities of inter-agency working - with particular
emphasis on the distinct cultural needs Ahmed and Reshma must cope with in the UK.
In the given case scenario, Ahmed and Reshma have immigrated to UK from
Bangladesh. In the very nation, faced a lot of challenged and issuances due to their cultural
barriers, varied languages, and associated cultures. Indeed, to resolve the issuances of migrated
people in United Kingdom as within the nation an inter-agency is working efficiently. There are
numerous complex challenges associated with the inter-agency and encompasses opportunities to
inter-agency working that particularly vehemence on the varied cultural needs (Bigland and et.
al., 2020). With challenges, Ahmed and Reshma must deal with the issuances efficiently. There
are complex challenges of inter-agency working within the nation which is efficiently recognised
with multi-agency working developed greatly because of the complexities involved when the
practitioner was involved in the process of collaborative ventures. The challenges with the
contemporary time in the inter-agency working in the health care settings in mentioned as under:
 Funding: It is related to feasibility, for instance, conflicts on funding betwixt and within
various agencies, a general low funding to inter-agency evolution and training work and
for covering planning and on-costs to flourishing service efficiently (Bodrud-Doza and et.

al., 2020). In case of Reshma and Ahmed, since they are migratory in United Kingdom,
indeed in the health care setting they have only got low advantages that is negligible as
compared to the localities are accomplished with. In addition, they are not privileged as
the local people of the nation are more advantaged and due to less funding, local people
are prioritised more. In case of Reshma and Ahmed, they are not acquired with enough
revenues and so they have less services and associated facilities to pay need amount of
health care to get equal opportunities to take all the required services in the health care
setting (Buchanan and et. al., 2022). These are acting as a barrier in the case of the
Ahmed and Reshma due to economic worsening council has stopped paying for their
daily services and facilities. Inter-agency chiefly cooperates of the varied agency and
effort to flourish same opportunities by providing funding to the Ahmed and Reshma in
the health care settings.
 Time: Health care workers have a bounded amount of time to flourish the services or
respond to varied priorities such as health care services mainly entails waiting list lines at
the centre which consumes time and delays in services. For Ahmed and Reshma were
less considered as compared to the local people of the nation. They were not priorities
over the nation local people as they were migrants of Bangladesh.
 Communication: It makes sure of two-way communication betwixt the health and care
setting, other inter-agency working system and other associated practitioner to
interchange the appropriate information (Buljac-Samardzic and et. al., 2020). This also
enhances the interchange to information and enhances the interconnected coordinated
working. In case of Reshma and Ahmed, communication is the main barrier, and this has
become complex to bring forth their living in the nation. They also did not have any
formal education so that they could tackle issuances within the nation as they belong to
Bangladesh. It was difficult for them to convey their messages and information properly
to the health care professionals and other associated inter-agency working staffs. Inter-
agency can aid Ahmed in language assistance and language experts can efficiently
convey their messages to the health care professionals (Cortina and et. al., 2019). They
can effectively get equal opportunities and treatment services.
 Inter-agency deals with many issuances while adapting to varied and new discourse for
instance, a hospital opposing to children's school and children centred space. In relation
