The Local Compact is a partnership agreement between the local public agencies in Dudley Borough, such as the Council, and the voluntary and community sector. The first Compact was published in June 2002 and has since been revised to take on board all members of the Dudley Community Partnership, the local strategic partnership for the Borough. The latest version of the Local Compact was published in December 2005.
The Local Compact recognises the invaluable contribution made by voluntary and community organisations to the Borough. It sets out a number of principles and undertakings on behalf of local agencies and the voluntary and community sector in order to improve relationships and to work more effectively together in improving the quality of life in the Borough.
The Council has identified Compact champions in relevant directorates to oversee implementation. They can be contacted for further information on the Compact in relation to their services.
