In such difficult financial times, Coventry's Compact is more important than ever is encourage effective joint working and setting out good and unacceptable practice. New codes on funding, commissioning and conflict resolution were adopted by Coventry Partnership in May, and a new Compact leaflet will be available at the Coventry Partnership conference on 3 December, illustrating the range of Compact materials available and how to access them. VAC members will also receive copies in the VAC December mailing.

The Coventry Compact codes will also be available in the new format shortly afterwards, together with new Coventry Compact Awards to recognise good practice in joint working.

We will be measuring the effectiveness of this awareness raising campaign and would appreciate your comments. Please complete the two page questionnaire below or visit http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/Y2TYBXY
