Best Value Guidance and the Compact: Briefing note
This briefing note provides information about how the principles of the Compact and their use locally can help deliver better communities.
It highlights how these principles are complementary to those found in the Department for Communities and Local Government’s recently published ‘Best Value Statutory Guidance', and gives practical advice about how both can be used to ensure more effective partnerships.
This briefing was jointly produced by Compact Voice and the Department for Communities and Local Government.
