Success Stories
"My organisation struggled for years with one year contracts. We would employ staff without knowing what would happen come Christmas. What we've been successful in doing, and we've actually used the Compact to make this happen, is that we've got two of our statutory partners to agree to give us three year contracts. This has made our organisation more sustainable"
Chief Executive, national social care organisation
Our organisation received £15,000 back from an executive agency that had breached their Local Compact. We were really pleased that we used the Compact because actually it meant that we could continue our relationship. Using the Compact meant that we had a framework within which we could sort out the disagreement and it didn't become personal."
