the cross cutting review of the Voluntary Sector where next for local government Voluntary Sector relationships
Regional Studies, 2004Co-Authors: Stephen P Osborne, Kate MclaughlinAbstract:Osborne S. P. and McLaughlin K. (2004) The cross-cutting review of the Voluntary Sector: where next for local government–Voluntary Sector relationships?, Reg. Studies 38, 573–582. This paper evaluates the impact of the recent ‘cross- cutting review of the Voluntary Sector’ by HM Treasury in the UK upon that Sector and places it within the context of evolving relationships between government and Voluntary and community organizations (VCOs) over the past 30 years. It argues that this review represents a shift away from the recent policy paradigm of community governance, and the co-governance of local services, and back towards one of co-production, with the role of VCOs being that of service agents. It discusses the import of this paradigmatic shift in public policy upon the CVO Sector. It argues that this new paradigm is predicated upon an attempt to modernize the CVO Sector and to develop neo-corporatist relationships by it with government that threatens both the distinctive competencies of the Sector and...

trends and issues in the implementation of local Voluntary Sector compacts in england
Public Money & Management, 2002Co-Authors: Stephen P Osborne, Kate MclaughlinAbstract:This article evaluates the current attempt to develop local ‘compacts’ between local government and the Voluntary and community Sector, as a way of structuring the evolving relationships between these Sectors. It is based on documentary analysis and semi-structured interviews with key national and local informants. The first part of the article charts local government-Voluntary Sector relationships in England from 1979 to 2000. The second part introduces the concept of the ‘Voluntary Sector compact’, and argues that this is central to the Government’s approach to these relationships. The third part explores the implementation of the Voluntary Sector Compact in England at both the national and local level. Finally, the authors draw out key lessons for the future of relationships between local government and the Voluntary Sector in England.

Social Work Education, 2016Co-Authors: Denise Mac Dermott, Anne CampbellAbstract:AbstractPractice based learning in Northern Ireland is a core element of social work education and comprising 50% of the degree programme for undergraduate and postgraduate students. This article presents evidence about the perceptions of practice learning from Voluntary Sector/non-government organisation (NGO) placement providers and final year social work students on social work degree programmes in Northern Ireland in 2011. It draws on data from 121 respondents from189 final year students and focus group interviews with Voluntary Sector providers offering 16% (85) of the total placements available to students. The agencies who participated in the research study provide a total of 55 PLOs to social work students, and are therefore fairly representative in terms of Voluntary Sector (NGO) provision. The article locates these data in the context of practice learning pedagogy and the changes introduced by the Regional Strategy for Practice Learning Provision in Northern Ireland 2010–2015.

Definitions of the UK Voluntary Sector
1997Co-Authors: Martin Knapp, Jeremy KendallAbstract:This paper has been prepared for the Independent Sector Spring Forum, The Nonprofit Sector in the United States and Abroad: Cross-Cultural Perspectives, Boston, 15-16 March 1990. Funding support from the UK Department of Health is gratefully acknowledged. The paper examines alternative routes to a definition for the Voluntary Sector, settling on a definition developed from first principles. The merits of the different definitional approaches are examined, and the components of the chosen principles discussed. By relaxing each principle in turn, broader definitions of the Sector are obtained. The discussion is predominantly couched in the British context, although the paper is stimulated by the start, in Spring 1990, of an international comparative study of the Voluntary Sector.
