abstract="PURPOSE - This paper sheds light on the complex multiplicity of domestic violence interagency work. It proposes a new conceptualisation that reflects the entangled nature of professional practice and learning. <br><br>DESIGN/METHODOLOGY/APPROACH - The research on which this paper draws is an ethnographic study of practice in an integrated local domestic violence initiative. Data includes focused workplace observations, semi-structured interviews and key documents. The study draws on practice-based sociomaterial approaches and the conceptual framework and methodology is informed by actor-network theory, in particular, the work of Annemarie Mol. <br><br>FINDINGS - Findings suggest that interagency work that starts from the victim and traces threads of connection outwards is able to 'hang together' as 'practice multiple' in integrated service provision. I argue that the learning that happens in these circumstances is a relational effect and depends on who and what is assembled in the actor-network. Research limitations/implications - The research has significant implications for framing understandings of domestic violence interagency work as it firmly anchors 'working together' to victims. <br><br>FINDINGS are expected to be of interest not only to practitioners, educators and researchers, but also to policy-makers. <br><br>ORIGINALITY/VALUE - The paper addresses a current gap in the literature, applies a novel research approach and proposes a new conceptualisation of domestic violence interagency work.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
