The Oadby & Wigston Compact
"The Oadby & Wigston Compact is an agreement between local Government, the voluntary and community sector and other local Public bodies of the Borough of Oadby & Wigston to improve our relationship for positive outcomes within the local community."
The purpose of the Compact is to:
Improve communication, common understanding, ways of working together, trust and respect between the Voluntary and Community Sector and the Statutory Sector.
Set a framework for effective consultation, representation and partnership working including an agreement on definitions, shared values and joint and distinct undertakings.
Set out ways for developing working relationships between the Voluntary and Community Sector and the Statutory Sector.
Act as a reference document and a process for monitoring and evaluating the quality of those relationships and partnership working at all levels.
Support and reinforce the application of value for money ("Best Value") principles in the relationship between the Statutory and Voluntary and Community organisations.
This Compact was signed at Voluntary Action's Annual General Meeting on the 12th October 2005.
