The new Staffordshire Compact was launched at the NI 7 conference in June 2009. Partners are now working towards embedding the Compact within Staffordshire Organisations through the Compact Codes of Practice and a Resolution Process.
The Staffordshire Compact is a protocol that clarifies the relationship between third sector organisations and statutory agencies in terms of how they work together and the expectations of each party.
Staffordshire's Compact can be downloaded here.
Compact Codes of Practice
The challenge is to embed the usage of the Compact within organisations in Staffordshire. To help achieve this task, five Codes of Practice which accompany the Compact are now available:
Capacity Building Code of Practice
Consultation and Policy Code of Practice
Equalities and Diversity Code of Practice
Volunteering Code of Practice
Funding, Commissioning and Procurement Code of Practice
Compact Resolution Procedure
Partners have also come together to develop a simple Compact Resolution Procedure and supporting documentation. We encourage any stakeholders who think that they may be covered by this process to use the documents below.
