Decision details

1.            That the recently published HIMC report on Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service be noted, and recognition given that although improvements have been made, further work was required  to ensure that the service could deliver strongly against all its performance measures.

2.            That the GMCA’s campaign #isthisok? to address gender-based violence, specifically in relation to the safety of women and girls be endorsed, noting the overdue conversation with all boys, lads and men to call out unacceptable behaviour and promote changing attitudes. 

3.            That all Leaders and Chief Executives be requested to actively promote the #isthisok? campaign across their own Local Authorities and networks.

4.            That thanks be recorded to Pam Smith, who was moving on from her position as Chief Executive of Stockport Council, for all her work on behalf of Greater Manchester recognising that it is a different place as a result.
