One Oldham stronger together
The Oldham compact
About the Compact
The Compact is an agreement between local statutory bodies (for example, the council, police and health services) and the voluntary, community and faith sector. It is a written commitment to work together more closely and to respect each other’s rights and responsibilities.
An agreement between the sectors will lead to:
- Everyone working towards the same shared principles
- More effective relationships
- A commitment to inclusive working practices
- A recognition that all partners have a valuable role to play in Oldham
- A source of help with any problems in our working relationships
What can you do?
If you are part of either the statutory of the voluntary, community and faith sector in Oldham make sure that your team, group or organisation is aware of the compact and has a compact champion. Make sure that you always consider the compact principes in your work and encourage your colleagues to seek beneficial partnerships.
You can read the compact below, or contact Voluntary Action Oldham for a hard copy on 0161 633 6222 or ce2@vaoldham.org.uk.
