Local Compact

Walsall Council has signed up to a Local Compact. It's an agreement developed jointly by representatives of the community and voluntary sector.

Statutory public services, including the council and Walsall Teaching Primary Care Trust, have also contributed within the overall framework of the Walsall Borough Strategic Partnership.

The Compact sets out key principles, ‘ground rules’ and clear standards for how the various agencies will work together, constructively, positively and for the benefit of the people of Walsall. 

It includes a series of local policy statements providing straightforward guidance for all local partners in the following areas:

• funding

• consultation

• volunteering

• black and minority ethnic community groups

• information and communication

• disability organisations

• learning and development

Our commitment 

The Compact demonstrates the council’s commitment to working with the community and voluntary sector. It is a recognition of the valuable part played by community and voluntary groups in the borough.

The establishment of a Local Compact was one of the key priorities identified at the Realising our Vision event in January 2005, organised jointly with the Borough Strategic Partnership, Walsall Voluntary Action and Walsall Community Empowerment Network.
