The item was presented by the Operational Manager for Corporate Strategy and Insight, and Glamorgan Voluntary Services’ Chief Executive Officer and Operational Manager. The presentation advised Committee of the work to refresh the Compact between the Vale of Glamorgan Council and Glamorgan Voluntary Services. Following the presentation, in response to Committee’s comments, questions and suggestions, the officers advised the following: • GVS held annual membership reviews, asking all organisations to provide their current information • GVS publications such as Vista Magazine were available to all members • The online link to the questionnaire on the Compact was provided to Members during the meeting. Councillor Wilson subsequently suggested that member groups could assist with updating their online information. Community Councillor Hawkins, Town and Community Council representative, asked whether there had been progress in achieving a culture change around officer’s attitudes towards the voluntary sector as highlighted in an Audit Wales report. In response, the Operational Manager for Corporate Strategy and Insight advised that progress had been made in terms of the good relationships with the voluntary sector, and on discussions around re-energising cross-sector working. The Operational Manager added that timescales would be clearer to Committee once Scrutiny Committees and Cabinet had considered a report on ‘Strengthening Our Communities and Work to Tackle Poverty and the Current Cost of Living Crisis’, in the coming weeks. GVS’ Chief Executive Officer subsequently advised that changing the purpose of the Compact was a challenging task. Challenges for the Local Authority included considering the impact of their decision on the Third Sector - for example, how some resources invested within the Council may sit better within the Third Sector itself. The Chief Executive Officer added that they hoped the refreshed Compact would offer more opportunity for the Third Sector to challenge the Local Authority without fear of comeback, particularly given that resources came into the Third Sector via Minutes - LW the Local Authority. The Chief Executive Officer further advised that the Third Sector had worked extremely well with the Local Authority to date, and the Compact provided the opportunity to build on that for the next five to ten years. The Operational Manager for Corporate Strategy and Insight subsequently advised that a new Compact needed to be meaningful, useful and dynamic in the way in which it articulated the relationship between both partners. Similarly, L. Newton (representative of Cardiff and Vale Action for Mental Health) advised that the Compact was a useful tool, and valuable to have as a mechanism for improvement. The Chair subsequently suggested that Committee revisited the Compact each year, to establish the level of progress made, and how both sides had performed against key themes and objectives. The Chief Executive Officer for GVS subsequently advised that an action plan with action points for both partners was a possible mechanism for future evaluation of the Compact. The Operational Manager for Corporate Strategy and Insight, in response to a question from GVS’ Chief Executive Officer, advised that part of the challenge was the need to reflect on the variety of experiences of working with the Third Sector found across the Council’s departments. They further advised that this would form part of the Authority’s wider work on how it linked with other sectors in general. With no further comments or queries, Committee subsequently AGREED – (1) T H A T the Officers be thanked for the engaging presentation and that the presentation slides be circulated to all members of the Committee. (2) T HA T Committee receives an update on progress made regarding the review of the Voluntary Sector Compact in 12 months’ time. Reason for decision (1&2) Having regard to the contents of the presentation and discussions at the meeting. Minutes - LW
