Decision details

In late 2020, the Government announced £10 million of funding in the Budget (from April 2020 to March 2021), for interventions that address the behaviours of domestic abuse perpetrators. This additional investment builds on from the previous Police Transformation Funding but with a particular focus on developing a strong evidence base across PCC’s, to identify successful interventions.

In December 2020 the Home Office announced that GMCA were successful in securing £1,082,129 of funding.

In April 2021 the Home Office explained that they wanted to provide GMCA with additional funding to extend the existing programmes as described in the Original Grant Agreement by a further six months from 1 October 2021 to 31 March 2022.

In late Spring 2022, confirmation from the Home Office was received that they were providing a continuation of funding for the programmes with the same conditions

The schemes are fully funded to total amount of £2,812,146 and GMCA is not required to provide any match-funding in addition to the original match funding.

The funding stream 066 DAP will directly fund TLC to deliver interventions in Manchester, Salford, Stockport and Wigan as per the original grant agreement in December 2020.
Those Programmes will be;

• Children and Young People, The Respect Young People’s Programme for child to parent abuse A programme for adolescent perpetrators
• Female Perpetrators, 1-2-1 programme delivery for female perpetrators in heterosexual or same sex relationships
• Male Perpetrators, Bridging to Change group behaviour change programme for male perpetrators in heterosexual relationships
• Perpetrators who speak English as a second language respect 1-2-1 programme for perpetrators (male or female) who speak English as a second language

The funding Stream 066 Drive will continue to deliver the national Drive model which will deliver interventions for high risk, high harm perpetrators will be delivered in Manchester and Salford. The Drive National Team will continue to work closely with TLC to ensure effective delivery of the model.

A robust evaluation framework will be embedded into the programme and conducted by the GMCA Research team. This will provide an evidence base across a range of perpetrator interventions and risk levels, applying a whole system approach throughout which will help inform future commissioning conversations at both a local and regional level.


The Funding Stream 066 DAPP, will support general perpetrator interventions and be grant funded to local authorities.

The Funding Stream 066 CYP will support child and adolescent interventions and be grant funded to local authorities.

This is a continuation of the second round of funding from August 21.

The funding is aimed to increase the geographic expansion of programmes and the target cohort through adaptation of programmes to reach wider needs.
Grants will be provided to PCCs as the lead partner, but the expectation is that PCCs will deliver the intervention in collaboration with a partner organisation.

As a part of the bid that has been accepted by the home office it was agreed that Local Authorities within GM would be the partner organisation.

GMCA have been successful in securing an extension to the Home Office grant funding, to support the continuation of perpetrator-focused domestic abuse interventions.

In the original pilot areas in December 2020, were Salford, Manchester, Wigan and Stockport where TLC were identified as our delivery partner, given that we already have a commissioning relationship with them, which complies with the Home Office conditions.

The conditions to the extension are the same as the original funding, therefore this is a continuation of the original grant agreement.

066 DAP Pand 066 Drive are the new Home Office grant agreements for this element of the funding.

The funding for this element will be awarded to Talk, Listen, Change (TLC) for the delivery of a range of perpetrator programmes set out in the DAPP grant agreement and the Drive Grant Agreement

This includes:

• £243,997 (Drive Programme Fund)
• £1,051600 (Domestic Abuse Perpetrator Programme Fund)
• A total amount of £1,295,597



Greater Manchester Combined Authority have also been successful in an extension to the round 2 funding and will be receiving a grant from the Home Office for Domestic Abuse Perpetrator work.

The funding was aimed to increase the geographic expansion of programmes and the target cohort through adaptation of programmes to reach wider needs.

Adult 066 grant agreement and 066 CYP grant agreements.

The element of this funding is that grants will be provided to PCCs as the lead partner, but the expectation is that PCCs will deliver the intervention in collaboration with a partner organisation.
