NorfolkCOMPACT
"We know relationships aren't easy. They are subject to all the stresses and strains of daily life. And they can be hard work. It is not easy to find the time and energy to face up to problems or difficulties. But it's not impossible. We believe that with the right skills you can make your relationships work and carry on making them better." - Relate
The NorfolkCOMPACT is a tool for improving relationships between organisations in the public sector and those in the voluntary and community sector.
Its purpose is to:
- provide a framework for good and productive relationships between organisations in the statutory and those in the voluntary and community sectors
- promote better understanding between the sectors
- support the application of 'Best Value' principles in relationships between the sectors
It was agreed and published in February 2001. If your organisation supports
improved partnership working and agrees to the NorfolkCOMPACT
commitments you can
become a signatory now. There is no charge.
There are Codes of Practice on:
A summary version (pdf) of the Norfolk Compact and its Codes of Practice - the Compact NorfolkCOMPACT - for the very busy - is available here.
Information about some of the ways Compact helps to make life easier for statutory organisations and for voluntary and community sector organisations are set out here.

If your organisation has already signed the NorfolkCOMPACT and there is an issue concerning the application or interpreation of commitments in the NorfolkCOMPACT, the Dispute Resoultion procedure may be able to help.
