GREATER MANCHESTER COMBINED AUTHORITY. The Greater Manchester Model of unified public services positions criminal justice services within a wider family of integrated public services enabling the design of whole system solutions to often, complex behaviours and problems. It also understands the relevance of place as a locus of protective factors such as family, social networks and identity. For the purposes of this MoU, Public Service Reform principles have been identified to assist in the design and delivery of rehabilitative and resettlement services. These principles have been created with the presumption THAT: • We should have core GM standards in place to avoid fragmented delivery, improve support for the individuals and make the provision responsive to the Probation Practitioner. This may also involve consideration of a single or ‘umbrella’ type of provider to ensure single points of contact and the increased alignment of services. • We understand where good provision already exists that we consider bolstering services where applicable, subject to procurement requirements • The skills and approach of staff providing rehabilitative support should be to work dynamically with the individual and their families, addressing a range of needs and, that they identify specialist provision when needed. • We do not place an emphasis on large outsourcing of provision but instead explore local provision which is more closely integrated with and responsive to activity and needs. • The actual provision of rehabilitative support services will be provided in close proximity/ integrated with, both statutory probation services and/or local services for those with complex needs. The GMCA has established governance and financial controls for the Combined Authority and joint commissioners, underpinned by a devolution agreement with the Ministry of Justice. The GMCA is conducting its own local needs assessment including a Call for Evidence based on the HMPPS Lots/pathways. In order to ensure that GM is in an optimal position to fully engage with the decisions required to co-commission/co-invest, work has started to create virtual work streams. Terms of reference have been developed for the Lot work streams and where relevant, these are aligned to existing GMCA groups and structures.
