The Glasgow Compact
The Glasgow Compact agreement is available to download in full, as a pdf.
What is a Compact?
Quite simply, a Compact is a framework for partnership working between public agencies and the voluntary and community sector.
What difference will it make?
"The people of Glasgow will be the main beneficiaries"
Over time a Compact can be crucial in
- fostering trust and respect between organisations;
- increased understanding of roles and structures; and
- transparent decision-making processes among partners.
Who is involved?
There is work to be done on developing and running with the Glasgow Compact for everyone.
An implementation group has been set up to oversee the development phase and co-ordinate the impact to the Compact of the voluntary sector and key public sector agencies.
What commitments have been agreed to?
The partners in The Glasgow Compact have committed to working closely together in seven areas. These are:
- Consultation
- Sustainability
- Funding Practices and Procurement
- Quality and Best Value
- Equalities
- Volunteering
- Fostering Understanding
