Co-operatives UK
A Co-operatives UK guide explaining sociocracy for co-ops, including consent decision-making, circle working, double-linking, open elections, benefits, drawbacks, and templates.
Co-operatives UK
A Co-operatives UK guide to consent-based decision-making, domains, review dates, decision records, and iterative governance.
Sociocracy For All
A detailed case study of Unicorn Grocery, a worker-owned grocery co-op in Manchester using sociocracy in its governance.
This free resource is a practical bridge from reading about sociocracy to trying it. Co-operatives UK currently provides five templates—consent process, meetings, backlog, open elections, and co-creating proposals—in editable Word and PDF formats.
The templates accompany Co-operatives UK's broader sociocracy guidance and reflect a UK co-operative context. They are useful starting documents, not a complete governance system or a substitute for checking a co-op's rules and legal obligations before adoption.
