Decision by: Stephen Greenhalgh (Past staff), Deputy Mayor for Policing and Crime
Executive summary
In July 2014 the Deputy Mayor for Policing and Crime (DMPC) approved decision DMPCD201474 which authorised the release of £239, 200 over two years to implement a Harmful Practices Pilot Initiative.
MOPAC went out to tender for a core element of this work (training and advocacy) in November 2014 to the amount of £200,000 with the caveat that a separate, additional £39,200 would be allocated for community engagement work at a borough level.
After an open, competitive grant award process a panel of key partners scored the bids independently and have selected a preferred provider, to deliver the training and advocacy element.
Recommendation
The DMPC is asked to:
Approve an award of £200,000 to Iranian Kurdish Women’s Rights Organisation (IKWRO) to deliver the advocacy and training elements of the Harmful Practices pilot.
That MOPAC allocate £39,200 to the Tri-borough partnership (Westminster, Royal Borough of Kensington & Chelsea Hammersmith & Fulham) and East London partnership (Tower Hamlets & Waltham Forest) for community engagement activity to be commissioned by the respective local authorities.
