This website explores the Compact, the longstanding agreement that sets out shared principles and guidelines for effective partnership working between government and the third sector in England.
The Compact stands for better partnership working and creating better outcomes for individuals and local communities. Its commitments are divided into three areas covering 'involvement in policy development', 'allocating resources' and 'advancing equality'.
Here, you can find out about the work of key organisations associated with the Compact, read about current policy and research work and the latest news, download useful documents and guidance, and share examples of good practice taking place in Local Compacts.
