two.2.4) Description of the procurement
The Greater Manchester Integrated Rehabilitative Services Peer Support Service seeks to establish a service which enables either people with the same shared experience or individuals who can offer a positive pro-social vision – to support and develop opportunities for service users to divert them both away from the criminal justice system, and if required, into other support and rehabilitative services. The service is required to provide knowledge, experience, emotional, social or practical help to individuals referred by an NPS Probation Practitioner. The service should have trained individuals who can develop plans to support people with specific or multiple needs to provide practical advice and guidance. This can take a number of forms such as mentoring, befriending, listening, counselling, advocating or being an advisor depending on the needs of the individual. However, it is also a service with compliance requirements and as such, plans will need to be shared with probation practitioners, including risk management
