‘Compact Code of Good practice on Community Groups’
A ‘Compact Code of Good practice on Community Groups’ has now been published and contains useful guidance on how local authorities and other should work with the community sector.
This code of good practice aims to promote a better understanding of the community sector, within the voluntary and community sector as a whole. By doing so, it will have a positive effect on the way the Government relates to community groups through its policies and practices in England. The code includes the main considerations that came out of a consultation exercise that the voluntary and community sector’s Compact Working Group carried out, as well as best practice from within the Government. It supports the Compact on relations between the Government and the voluntary and community sector in England.
