Local Compacts

This section includes examples of Local Compact under each region. Regional Compacts are envisaged to improve partnership working and relationships between regional public bodies and voluntary and community organisations.

Regional Compacts where they exist provide basic frameworks setting out the main principles and commitments that these relationships should be based on.

Regional Compacts are intended to support Local Compacts which already exist or are being further developed locally. They are not designed to supersede local arrangements and Local Compacts. Government Offices for the Regions coordinate the work of Regional Compacts.
