Plymouth Compact

Plymouth 2020 is currently revising the Plymouth Compact and three Codes of Practice into one simplified document in line with the national Compact published in December 2010. A three month consultation period was launched on 1 June when comments were invited from a wide range of organisations.

A consultation event was held on 14 July with representatives from the voluntary and community and public sectors to discuss suggestions for the main commitments that should be included in a revised Compact. Following that event we are now proposing to set up a small working group to look at the detailed wording of commitments. We hope to produce a first draft in the next few weeks which will be widely circulated and included on the website for comments. A further event is planned to agree a final draft.

Please see below for the current Compact and Codes of Practice:
