Torbay Local Compact

Renewed Draft Torbay Local Compact - Consultation
The members of the Torbay Strategic Partnership - such as the council, health service, police, fire service and probation service - work together with the voluntary and community sector to deliver services in Torbay which are vital to the area. An effective working relationship is at the heart of this - and the Torbay Local Compact is what governs this relationship. The word Compact literally means "official agreement".
There has been a Torbay Local Compact since 2004, following the first National Compact in 1998. When the Coalition Government came to power last year, it announced a renewal of the National Compact although the previous Government had undergone a refresh only the year before. Torbay followed that pattern and this is the second consultation in two years. However, this time the consultation period is shorter at six weeks instead of twelve and will be complete by the end of April.
This latest draft Torbay Local Compact is shorter, more succinct and has more accountability if its terms are broken. It was endorsed by the Torbay Strategic Partnership on March 17th 2011.
