| ARE YOU familiar with The Compact in Suffolk? The Compact is a set of guidelines and principles for voluntary and community organisations and public agencies to adopt in order to improve working relationships between the two sectors.
The Compact guidelines are designed to encourage each sector to recognise and respect the importance of the other’s role. Voluntary and community organisations make a major contribution to the development of society. They promote both equality and diversity. They help to alleviate poverty, improve the quality of life, involve the socially excluded and make an important direct economic contribution to the County. The Compact should be integral to any policies, agreements, plans and action undertaken between the voluntary and community sector and public bodies.
The Compact in Suffolk recognises that public sector agencies can play a positive role in promoting and supporting the work of voluntary and community organisations. When public sector agencies develop policies or programmes they can have an impact on the work of voluntary and community groups. The Compact in Suffolk will help to make that impact positive. |
