Draft Liverpool Compact Consultation

Liverpool First partnership is committed to ensuring that it seeks the views and opinions of all partners before making any policy decisions. They are currently seeking views on the draft Liverpool Compact. The Liverpool Compact is a written agreement between local statutory agencies and the voluntary and community sector. It is wide reaching and covers amongst other things; shared values, acceptable ways of working, and sustainability. It commits signatories to develop trust and improve their mutual understanding to work together. Local compacts are not legal documents: they put the emphasis on people working together to make them work.

The deadline for comments is 23 April 2010. Comments will be considered and may be incorporated into a final draft of the Compact.

This document will be continually updated and improved as more knowledge and expertise is gained.

A copy of the draft Compact is available at www.liverpoolfirst.org.uk/consultations/liverpool_compact.

If you would like a hard copy of the report or wish to receive the document in an alternative format, telephone 0151 296 7555. To read more about the purpose of Compacts, go to www.thecompact.org.uk
