Voluntary sector ‘can help bring real change’
The Ministry of Justice is looking to set up an advisory group to measure how well it works with those operating in the voluntary sector, it has emerged.
In a consultation paper released by the department, it is suggested that such a body may create a third sector strategy.
This could see it making decisions on how best to enhance the contributions that voluntary and community organisations make to the department’s policy development and provision of services.
Justice minister Bridget Prentice said: "The government wants to improve the public’s understanding of the justice system by working more closely with voluntary groups and community organisations.
"Real change can be achieved by the voluntary sector and the state working together at all levels."
The third sector is being invited to comment on the proposals, which may help it to maintain sustainable efficiencies.
In related news, it was recently suggested that the creation of a charity commission in Northern Ireland would provide greater transparency for third sector groups.
More about sustainable efficiencies.
