Compact Refresh Home

 

 

 

Following extensive discussion on the future of the Compact during 2008/09 and an official consultation earlier this year, a refreshed national Compact is now available (published December 2009).  You can read more about the discussion process and consultation responses in this section of the Compact website. Just click on the navigation bar above.

 

As well as retaining all the key points of the original, the refreshed agreement takes into account recent developments in law, policy and practice.  It is divided into three key areas covering 'involvement in policy development', 'allocating resources' and 'advancing equality'.

 

The refreshed Compact replaces the 1998 Compact agreement and five codes of practice.  It is accompanied by a publication entitled 'An introduction to the Compact'.  This contains general information about the Compact, explaining who it applies to, how to implement the Compact and resolve differences.
