Derbyshire Public Sector Compact


Derbyshire

The mission of the Derbyshire Public Sector Compact is to improve the quality of the public services in the county through effective collaborative workforce development and planning.

To achieve the mission the Compact has established three groups. The Steering Group is the main focus of activities and provides strategic direction. The other two groups have been formed to address the annual priorities of the Compact for 08-09. They are the 'Skills Pledge Task Group' and the 'Workforce Development Task Group.

Documents relating to the work of the Compact can be found below. To join one or more of the working groups simply email the Compact facilitator Chris Donkin chris@donkinitex.co.uk

In 2009-10 the Derbyshire Compact is leading on a project to enable public sector organisations to accrue the benefits of an 'Action Learning Sets' approach to management training
