Compact Advocacy Programme
Compact Advocacy Programme
If you need help and support on how to use the Compact, including what principles have been breached and how to best challenge decisions, how to best challenge, contact the Compact team.
We will help you:
- Identify breaches of the Compact
- Set and agree objectives
- Identify key decision makers
- Represent organisations through communications, including letters, emails, phone calls, meetings and press work
- Seek policy and practice change
- Identify best and worst practice and share lessons within the sector
If you would prefer not to openly challenge a decision made by a public body, we can do so on your behalf anonymously.
What are some common problems?
- Your funding is withdrawn with little notice
- A consultation period for a new policy or procedure gives you less than 12 weeks to respond
- Burdensome monitoring requirements are placed on your organisations that are not proportionate
Our successes
Since its set up the Compact Advocacy Programme has helped hundreds of organisations achieve a better relationship with Government and resolve disputes over funding, lack of consultation, poor communication and many other issues. We work closely with the organisation to ensure their objectives are met, and we follow up with Government bodies to ensure the lessons are learnt. Read more about individual case studies
