Thanet Compact

The Thanet Compact was developed jointly by Thanet District Council and its statutory and voluntary and community sector partners to improve the way the two sectors work together. The codes of practice, developed through consultation, contain undertakings by both sectors on how they will work together more effectively.  It has since been reworked following national consultation and is entitled "Working Together". 

Implementing the Thanet Compact

The Thanet Compact Implementation Group (TCIG) was formed in 2006 to ensure that the Thanet Compact is more than just a document and really does improve working relationships between the Sectors. The group includes representatives from following statutory sector and voluntary/community sector and is working to support local implementation:

Statutory organisations

• Eastern and Coastal Kent Primary Care Trust
• Canterbury Christchurch University
• Kent Fire and Rescue Service
• Kent Police
• Thanet District Council

Voluntary & Community Sector organisations

• TVCSF (Thanet Voluntary Community Sector Forum)
• CASE Kent
• Helpdis
• Rethink
• Homestart Thanet
• Thanet Senior Citizen’s Forum
