The Compact refresh: National Equality Partnership response

The Compact is a crucial document for charities setting guidelines for better working relationships with public bodies and as a key tool in driving forward good practice. The National Equality Partnership has written a response, highlighting what we believe to be the most pertinent points to consider for the equalities sector. We are pleased that the draft Compact document now includes a broader emphasis on all of the equalities strands, and the role public bodies anf the third sector in tackling discrimination.
