They reflect common approaches and emerging practices and can be tailored to suit the needs and objectives of a collaboration. Not all tools will be relevant to every group, and they do not need to be used in a set order. This Toolkit is general guidance only and does not constitute legal advice.
Businesses should seek independent advice where required. We welcome additional examples and insights that could strengthen future updates. The Toolkit includes practical resources to support collaboration at different stages.
