Identifying safeguarding needs and referring to appropriate services
Working with external agencies including Social Care, Education, and Health

Supporting operations like Op Granbury (non-recent abuse in care homes)

Essential Experience:

Former warranted police officer or detective
Background in public protection, safeguarding, RASSO, child abuse or major crime
Strong statement-taking and victim interviewing skills
Knowledge of investigative processes, criminal law, and police procedures
Ability to assess, evaluate and present evidence effectively
