Issue details

The reasons for the decision are:

The additional IDVA / ISVA capacity will enable more support to be provided to CYP across Greater Manchester and will also expand our specialist by-and-for provision. The continuation of posts secured in previous financial years means we can maintain service provision within our RASSO services, specifically additional CYP posts. GM support for the medium risk offer within local authorities will also be maintained.

This will continue to assist our victims’ services partners in supporting some of the most vulnerable victims in Greater Manchester, create additional capacity within services and help them cope with additional demand.

Importantly the confirmation of 3-years of funding from the MoJ will enable us to pass on this commitment to our partner organisations that funding will be in place until 31st March 2025. This will help to enable better staff recruitment and retention, continuity of service for victims and stability within the sector.
