Partnership Agreements

A partnership agreement is a way of formalising arrangements between two or more partner agencies to facilitate ease of working together. It can go as far or be as limited as the agencies involved wish.

Two basic templates for partnership agreements are included here:

Partnership Agreement Template for work between two or more partners undertaking joint work.

Partnership Terms of Reference for a consortium or network working in a local or thematic community.

Both should be amended to meet what the partners want from the particular partnership formed.

You should also look at local compacts between the statutory and voluntary sectors for more information on joint agreements.
