The Compact was published in 1998.  It is a framework for partnership between Government and the voluntary and community sector, for mutual advantage.  An important principle in the Compact is the independence of the sector and its right to campaign. The Compact is supported by five Codes of Good Practice in which Government and the sector commit to particular actions.  For example, in the Consultation and Policy Appraisal Code, Government has pledged to allow a minimum of twelve weeks wherever possible in consultation, and the sector has pledged to ensure that the views of women and minority and socially excluded groups are included in their response.  There are also Local Compact Guidelines to inform partnership working between voluntary and community sector organisations  and local bodies such as local authorities, primary care trusts and local learning and skills councils.
