Purpose
A specific organisational need and intended benefit.
Get involved / Partner
Build an institutional relationship around a defined purpose.
Schools, workplaces, community organisations and institutions can explore partnership where the intended benefit, responsibilities and practical conditions are clear enough to support responsible work.
01
Partnership readiness
A relationship begins with the institutional question—not a preselected activity.
The first discussion should establish who the work is for, what the institution is trying to address and who holds responsibility for the surrounding environment.
People
A defined audience, responsible stakeholders and appropriate participation.
Conditions
Realistic timing, access, safeguarding and review arrangements.
Shared responsibility
Partnership does not transfer every responsibility to an external provider.
The institution remains responsible for the conditions, policies and decisions that sit within its authority. Thrivewell’s contribution is defined within an agreed scope.
Safeguarding ownership, communications, access, confidentiality and escalation routes should be mapped before participant-facing activity begins.
03
Two connected routes
Choose relationship-building or operational governance.
This page begins a broad institutional relationship. Defined delivery and referral arrangements are governed through the Organisations suite.
Institutional partnership
Use this route to explore shared purpose and whether a relationship should be scoped.
Partnerships & referrals
Review consent, eligibility, information flow and written operational responsibilities.
Open governance pathway04
Engagement pathway
Know the sequence before committing.
- 01
Define purpose
State the institutional question, intended audience and expected decision.
- 02
Map context
Understand existing provision, constraints, stakeholders and responsible leadership.
- 03
Assess fit
Consider whether Thrivewell’s scope and current capacity match the need.
- 04
Write responsibilities
Record delivery, safeguarding, information, communication and review ownership.
- 05
Review the relationship
Evaluate the agreed scope before continuation, expansion or closure.
Governance in practice
A written scope protects people and working relationships.
Costs, timelines and expected outputs are discussed only after the need and responsibilities are sufficiently clear.
No partnership should imply guaranteed outcomes, unrestricted access to participants or institutional reporting on private support conversations.
Prepare an enquiry
