Sheffield Health Compact, which is an agreement between NHS Sheffield and the local voluntary and community sector (VCS)

We are currently working towards combining both Compacts into one Joint Compact - the Sheffield Joint Compact.  This agreement will involve Sheffield City Council, NHS Sheffield and the local VCS.

Sheffield Joint Compact Delivery Board has the following aims and objectives:

• Overseeing the recommendations from the 2009 VCS review
• Keeping an overview on the policy and funding environment and taking action
• To move forward collaborative work between the VCS and public sectors
• Overseeing the combing of current Sheffield and Health Compact protocols into one document, a combined ‘fresh' approach
• Developing a joint dispute process - highlighting differences between a dispute and an appeal process
• Providing a policy steer for the future development of the Compact
• Contributing to city wide partnership work, particularly the Local Strategic Partnership
