• Serve as lead responsibility for children on child protection plans and contextual safeguarding child in need plans, covering service demands and needs of children and families.
• Provide a quality service that incorporates the rights of children, their views, wishes and feelings, while working in partnership with parents, carers and other professionals.
• Develop and implement Quality Assurance Systems for the Department and undertake regular audits.
