Description

As part of Justice Devolution arrangements between Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA) and Her Majesty's Prison and Probation Service (HMPPS), it has been agreed that HMPPS will devolve their national 'Dynamic Commissioning Framework' responsibilities for commissioning of services through to GMCA.
The devolved approach for Greater Manchester is entitled 'Greater Manchester Integrated Rehabilitative Services' (GMIRS). This approach is designed to offer a less structured and more locally tailored interventions which will draw on the experience, innovation and skill within the private and voluntary, community and social enterprise sectors (VCSE), to provide effective rehabilitation and resettlement services that address criminogenic needs unmet by NPS through their programmes, Accredited Programmes, Unpaid Work and Structured Interventions.
Just as per the national HMPPS Dynamic Framework, all of the services which form part of the GMIRS will need to work on a referral and compliance basis with the National Probation Service through a Case Recording System. This may sometimes be referred to as the 'Digital Tool / Solution' in other HMPPS documents or training packages. This is a mandatory requirement.
For Greater Manchester the probation service relationship will solely be with the National Probation Service - Greater Manchester Region. There are also a number of minimum requirements and other specific activity required by HMPPS which form part of this specification.
