There are numerous decisions, strategies, codes of practice and agreements that apply to the whole of the sector, both within Leeds and on a national scale, that form a generic structure to the way things are run.

This is a structure that can be very confusing, crosses over in many areas and is often overbearing to many an organisation.

Bearing this in mind we have created these pages of useful summaries, links to full documents and to useful websites to help make the whole process clearer for you, the voluntary, community and faith sector.

Please take as much information as possible from them, feel free to comment on them, ask us questions if you don't understand them, and let us know if there's anything important you think we've missed out.....
