“Robust mechanisms” called for local Compacts
New ways of monitoring and evaluating local Compacts need to be investigated, it has been suggested.
In a recent report, Compact Voice has reported that the installation of "robust mechanisms" could help to rebuild trust in the Compact agreement - which sets out how third sector groups and government departments should interact with each other - for those working for local voluntary sector bodies.
Compact Voice pointed towards research it carried out revealing that 85 per cent of those questioned believe the national Compact should set out minimum standards that must be followed by local groups.
The document reported: "They would help to ensure the core of the agreement is easy to communicate and memorable for all parties."
Furthermore, it claimed that there is need for clearer language to be used by the Compact, in news that might interest those looking to improve their skills framework.
Oliver Reichardt, head of Compact Voice, added that the report’’s recommendations will help to "ensure the Compact delivers on its potential".
The beginning of this month was Compact Week, marking a decade since the Compact agreement was launched.
