Joint Liaison Committee

The Voluntary Sector Joint Liaison Committee (JLC) or group is usually the prime interface between the voluntary sector and any individual local authority. It is normally made up of elected council members and voluntary sector representatives. It agrees the compact and it is also the key vehicle for ensuring the delivery of the compact and its associated plans. In all cases where a JLC exists, your County Voluntary Council (CVC) facilitates the involvement of the voluntary sector. The local authority’s involvement is facilitated by different parts of the authority in different work areas such as corporate services and social services. Make sure you contact your CVC to find out more about the JLC in your area.
