Compact Implementation Group

A Dover District Compact Implementation Group (CIG) meets quarterly to promote and deliver the Compact. This is a cross-sector group and our main priority is to ensure all groups know about, and use, the Compact. Other key activities include monitoring implementation, recording successes and helping resolve any disagreements.

We want Compact values and ideals to be the normal way of doing business across the sectors.

The CIG revised the Terms of Reference (pdf 1,710kb) in June 2007. The CIG has also published a Compact Summary document and developed a Dispute Resolution Procedure (pdf, 1,780kb). This can be used by both local groups and public bodies signed up to the Dover District Compact to hold one another to account.

Public Bodies

Dover District Council
Eastern and Coastal Kent PCT
Kent Police

Voluntary and Community Groups

Membership details are currently being updated. Active members on the Group, over the past 12 months, include:

Community Action South East Kent (CASE Kent)
Dover, Deal and District Citizens Advice Bureau (CAB)
Dover District Volunteering Centre
Homestart Dover District
Arthritis Care / Disability Information Services Kent (DISK)
Deal Centre of the Retired

The voluntary and community sector consists of a diverse range of organisations. CASE Kent (formerly the Mid and South Eas Kent Council for Voluntary Service) is an infrastructure organisation offering advice, support and training to over 400 voluntary and community organisations in the Dover district. It is considered the best-placed body to co-ordinate representation on the Compact Implementation Group. This will be carried out in a consultative and inclusive way, aiming to ensure representation of a wide range of interests.

We are keen to involve more local groups. If you are interested, please contact:
