Description

The Greater Manchester Integrated Rehabilitation Services Personal Wellbeing Service will be based on the core activity from the National HMPPS Dynamic Framework - "Personal Wellbeing" specification.
Greater Manchester is commissioning three separate services:
a) Peer Support
b) Emotional Wellbeing
c) Family Support
This notice is for the procurement of the Family Support Service only.

The Greater Manchester Integrated Rehabilitative Services Family Support Service seeks to establish a service to promote, support and build relationships via direct work with the individual subject to probation. Strong and supportive family, intimate and significant personal relationships are widely considered to be vital factors in desistance from crime and are well documented in the Farmer Review 2017.
In Greater Manchester (GM) we have long recognised the huge and predominantly detrimental impact that crime and involvement with the Criminal Justice System has on relationships; we now need to also consider the additional impact COVID-19 has had on this cohort. The long-term impact of COVID-19 is still be realised, however current local information regarding poverty, debt, emotional wellbeing, domestic abuse and family conflict issues indicate more people are exposed to these issues. For vulnerable and marginalised groups and those facing inequalities, the pandemic has only exposed and further exacerbated problems.
Given that a large proportion of individuals in the Criminal Justice System are from marginalised groups and / or have complex needs, the importance of family relationships on wellbeing and desistance is now more than ever an important area of focus for the GM National Probation Service and the GMCA.
