The Code of Good Impact Practice is being launched for consultation on 19 February 2013. The Code is the product of consultation with nef consulting and stakeholders from across the non-profit sector and aims to provide clear, broad, and agreed guidelines of good impact practice for non-profit organisations. These guidelines are set-out as a series of principles that relate to a cycle of impact practice.

Each principle includes a brief description of what ‘good’ looks like, an explanation of why it’s important, and ideas for how you could apply the principle in practice. The Code is intended to help non-profit organisations, funders and commissioners in forming realistic and appropriate understandings of what good impact practice looks like for non-profit organisations.

How to respond to this stage of the consultation: You should download and read the current version of the Code of Good Impact Practice before responding to the consultation survey. The Code, survey, and guidance around the consultation can all be found on the Inspiring Impact website (www.inspiringimpact.org/code-of-good-impact-practice/)
