Compacts are being developed across district level as joint agreements which describe the principles of a good relationship between voluntary and community sector organisations and large public bodies and agencies, including the local authority.
The General Compact has taken many months of preparation and consultation to produce the completed document, however this is just the starting point!
The General Compact forms an accepted template that can be developed and used in more specific versions to address particular needs.
Endorsed by Bradford Vision in May 2004, we hope the General Compact will become the template for relationships between the voluntary and community sector and the major statutory agencies in the Bradford District.
The intention is that this basic template can be adapted and targeted to the needs of particular settings, agencies and organisations and that is why this version is called the General Compact. It is expected that in the future further more specific versions would be drawn up, based for example, around issues such as funding.
The General Compact includes details on who to contact for further information on how to use it.
