Purpose: Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA) has previously provided funding to Tameside Council to support the delivery of Adult Domestic Abuse Perpetrator Interventions and Independent Domestic Violence Advisory (IDVA) services. The funding from GMCA has contributed to the wider funding into the domestic abuse support service, Bridges Partnership to delivery perpetrator interventions and support for high-risk victims of domestic abuse, and towards the delivery of the Multi Agency Tasking and Co-ordination (MATAC) approach to managing high risk perpetrators of domestic abuse, which is co-ordinated via GMP. GMCA has confirmed that further funding for 2025/26 is available to Tameside Council at the same level as previous years (£0.197m) for the continuation of adult perpetrator interventions, Independent Domestic Abuse Advisory (IDVA) service and MATAC during this financial year. This report seeks permission to accept the continued grant funding from GMCA to come into the Public Health budget and be allocated as a contribution towards the delivery of adult perpetrator interventions and Independent Domestic Violence Advisory (IDVA) services via Bridges Partnership, and MATAC via Greater Manchester Police in line with the grant expectations from GMCA.
