Framing the Compact debate

2nd October 2008, 2:33 pm

Compact Voice, the body charged with representing the voluntary and community sector in England on the agreement with government, has produced a pack to support participation in the debate on the Compact. ‘Framing the debate on the future of the Compact’ is in pdf, 76KB, at http://www.compactvoice.org.uk/module_images/Framing%20the%20Debate2.pdf, and an online questionnaire is at http://www.ncvo-vol.org.uk/compactquestionnaire. Respond by 10th November.

The Commission for the Compact’s discussion document (pdf, 47kb) is at http://www.thecompact.org.uk/shared_asp_files/GFSR.asp?NodeID=101783. It has also just published research findings, ‘The State of Independence: A research study into independence and the Compact’. This finds that while The Compact has created an environment which encourages and supports central government departments to respect the independence of the third sector, there are still challenges ahead.
