What is Bradford District Assembly?
The Bradford District Assembly and the related voluntary and community sector forums aim to provide a link between the Bradford District partnerships and the voluntary and community sector. The forums link directly to each major partnership; the Assembly connects these forums to the wider district partnerships and to each other.
It provides a channel to engage directly on key issues facing the sector such as commissioning and the new Compact; similarly it provides a route for the partnerships to engage with the District’s voluntary and community sector.
