Derbyshire Compact

This section contains information about the Derbyshire County Compact.  Information about Derby City Compact can be found on Community Action Derby’s website at:

 www.communityactionderby.org.uk/you-city-your-voice/derby-compact

 

 

What is COMPACT ?

COMPACT and COMPACT Plus are national Government initiatives which are supported by National Codes of Practice. COMPACT documents set out principles which statutory agencies (lsuch as Local Authorities, Primary Care Trusts and the Police) and their Voluntary and Community Sector partners follow in their dealings with one another.

 

Information about COMPACT can be found at: www.thecompact.org.uk

 

STOP PRESS: Revised Compact now published

Compact in Derbyshire

 

Why does my organisation  need a COMPACT?

 In Derbyshire there are already some excellent relationships between statutory and voluntary sectors. However this is usually based on good relationships between individuals. If these key people leave, we need to ensure that successful engagement continues. Writing down our expectations of one another using COMPACT Codes of Practice as a framework and starting point is helpful for new people joining these partnerships.

 

What does this mean for my organisation?

 3D and its members have signed up to the Derbyshire COMPACT principles including its codes on funding, consultation, policy development, volunteering and working with Black and ethnic minority (BME) groups.

 

In addition to this, a local action plan has been agreed between voluntary and community groups and statutory partners of Derbyshire Partnership Forum (DPF), the Local Strategic Partnership. The local action plan details very specific steps we can take to improve understanding and work practices.

 

 

What is my role in COMPACT

Your specific role is to be aware of the Derbyshire COMPACT Principles and local action plan.  Copies of these can be downloaded from the Compact documents page.

 

As a representative of your organisation you can ensure that your work practice supports the local actions for example, ensure voluntary sector involvement in meetings, allow good timescales for consultation.

 

 

How do we know this is working?

Local and County action plans are monitored by a COMPACT Champion who attends DPF meetings and the COMPACT County Steering group.  For information on the progress of the Derbyshire Compact, read the Briefing Notes.

 

Comments from individuals within partnerships can be given to Champions or DPF Board Members.  See Compact Contacts.

 

All comments on the way we work together are valid, whether good or bad. This information will be disseminated to partner agencies and groups in an anonymous state to ensure we learn the best way to work together.
