Decision details

The reasons for the decision are:

The GMCA has held annual DHR learning events. The events in 2020 and 2021 were not held due to covid and therefore we will be holding an event in June 2022 to enable partners to come together to share learning.

This event supports the dissemination of learning and recommendations arising from domestic homicides across Greater Manchester, with the ambition to drive improvement across all agencies in their response to domestic abuse.

An amount of £1500 be provided to support GMCA holding a face-to-face Domestic Homicide Review event. The resource will be used for room hire, refreshments and other associated costs.
Since sign off this cost has now increased to £1807.20
Rationale for this is that we used an external venue for this as we could not find a meeting room in GMCA / GMP which would accommodate the numbers. We wanted this to hold up to 100 people due to the nature of the event and needing to invite a wide range of partners from each local authority, GMP and health and additionally as we have not held a learning event since 2019 and therefore it is essential this takes place. We’ve had good sign up from partners and therefore need to go ahead holding this externally.
