Key facts from the consultation on the draft renewed Compact
From 20th September to 29th October 2010, Compact Voice actively sought feedback from the community and voluntary sector on the draft text of the renewed Compact.
Through the support of Compact Champions, Regional Leaders and Compact colleagues, Compact Voice received 129 written responses, attended 47 events across the nine regions of England and engaged with approximately 1500 individuals.
Responses were received from national and local CVS', community groups, individuals, Compact implementation groups, infrastructure organisations, campaigning groups, social enterprises and unions.
Having received an impressive number of responses to its consultation on the draft renewed Compact, Compact Voice will be negotiating with the Office for Civil Society over the next couple of weeks to ensure the best deal for the sector based on the input it received.
Compact Voice has been enormously encouraged by both the volume and the high quality of responses, despite the short consultation period which was needed to ensure a renewed Compact can be delivered in time to be used in decision making processes following the spending review.
