Partnership Framework
How D’Key Civic approaches working with others.
D’Key Civic welcomes partnership where it strengthens local community benefit and can be delivered in a lawful, proportionate and reputation-safe way. This page sets out the principles behind that approach.
Partnership principles
- community benefit should be clear and capable of explanation;
- roles and expectations should be stated in simple terms;
- safeguarding and conduct considerations should be addressed where relevant;
- branding, publicity and use of names should be agreed rather than assumed;
- financial support or in-kind contributions should be recorded appropriately.
What D’Key Civic aims to provide
- a responsive point of contact;
- clear explanation of the intended activity or pilot;
- reasonable visibility on governance and public standards; and
- a delivery style that is collaborative, practical and community-focused.
Before a partnership goes live
Depending on the type of arrangement, D’Key Civic may use a lightweight written note, sponsorship confirmation, project scope note or memorandum-style understanding to ensure both sides are aligned on purpose, responsibilities, publicity and boundaries.
