What is a compact?

The Shropshire Compact is an agreement that sets out the “rules of engagement” determining how Shropshire Council and the voluntary and community sector (VCS) should work together for the benefit of the people they serve.

It is more than a document – it is also a way of working that recognises the benefits of working together better.

Compact codes of practice cover:

• Funding
• Consultation
• Volunteering
• Equality and diversity

Shropshire Council adopted its new compact in November 2009.
