Legislation

Whether a formal or informal partnership you will be bound by legislation. Therefore it is always best practice to have written agreements such as a Memorandum of Understanding, Service Level Agreements or even just a letter outlining the agreement between partners. This, above all else avoids misunderstandings and ensures that all partners are protected.

In addition to links about written agreements this section also has a range of other links relating to legislation and partnership working.

In forming a partnership between community organisations you will already have identified the mutual benefits. However, to ensure that the partnership operates in a legally binding manner and operates according to current legislation, you will need to stay up-to-date with legislative change, particularly legislation on partnership working.

This section gives links to information on legislation and how it may affect your partnership.

As we are still building this website, we do not have any links yet for this section. If you know any relevant links that we could add - please let us know using the Talk to us page.

If you need any further specific information please contact the relevant network from the links below.
