The Torbay Compact - This agreement between statutory bodies and the voluntary and community sector in Torbay is being updated and rewritten. The new draft Torbay Compact is going out for consultation. The document sets out the terms for a working relationship between local government, NHS organisations, the police, fire service etc and the third sector; now with the change of government, becoming known as the civil society.

The Compact has existed nationally since 1998, and in Torbay, the first local Compact was drawn up in 2004. It is now being refreshed, taking many of the principles of a newly-drawn up national Compact. However, what local organisations think is of course paramount, so a 12-week consultation period is underway. Please take a little time to view the draft document, which was endorsed by the Torbay Strategic Partnership on May 27th.
