Compact for Havering
"Local Public Bodies working together in partnership with the Voluntary and Community Sector"
What is a Compact?
It is an agreement between all independent Voluntary and Community groups and the local or county council and other public bodies. Vital for improving relationships for mutual advantage, it:
- helps us understand and value roles, nature and contribution of different kinds of organisations
- has undertakings on both sides and mechanisms to make sure it works
- sets standards for communication, consultation and support
- provides a practical tool to help us work together in formal partnerships on the ground

The Compact for Havering document was revised/rewritten in December 2009 and after the required 12 week consultation agreed in March 2010, with its official Launch at the Compact AGM held during the Voluntary Sector Event in May 2010.
