Most Councils and PCTs have now written and signed up to local Compacts, in line with national policy... but many are then criticised by their local voluntary sector for lack of progress in implementing it! 

Is your Compact is collecting dust on a shelf?  Are you unsure how to use it to make the sorts of changes in your Council/PCT that the Third Sector expects?  Worried that a dispute with the VCS may get out of hand and be referred to the Compact Commissioner? 

Having achieved a Compact Gold Award for Gloucestershire County Council two years running, I can offer advice and practical help on these and all other Compact-related matters.  I work with other consultants to help you build award-winning partnerships with your local Third Sector.
