The Joint Government/Voluntary and Community Sector Forum, commonly known as the Joint Forum, was established in October 1998 following the identification of a gap in arrangements for regular dialogue between the voluntary and community sector (VCS) and Government departments.
The Concordat is the framework for developing effective partnership working between government and the VCS. It was agreed and signed by both the NI Executive and the VCS Group of the Joint Forum in March 2011.
