The Programme Challenger Board is the
executive function of the Programme Challenger partnership in
Greater Manchester. Membership of the Challenger Board comprises
senior managers from key partners from the public and third
sectors. The Challenger Board scrutinises partnership progress
against the implementation of the Greater Manchester Serious and
Organised Crime strategy and provides strategic assistance to the
Programme Challenger partnership in respect of delivery of the
Challenger action plan.
The Board directs the activity of its working groups and monitors
activity of other governance groups that report into the Board.
Members commit to ensuring that the work of Challenger features on
other strategic and executive partnership boards across Greater
Manchester, including safeguarding boards and community safety
partnerships across the ten districts.
In the last 6 months, the Board has undergone a review and one of
the recommendations is to recruit a dedicated chair to drive its
agenda. The current Chair has resigned due to a change of
employment but was very vocal in advocating for an independent
chair due to the work involved in making this role a success.
The role has now been advertised and expressions of interest
requested by 19th May 2023.
