  • Prepare high-quality reports and provide evidence in court proceedings when required.

  • Build and maintain strong working relationships with children, young people, families, carers, and partner agencies.

  • Work collaboratively with statutory, voluntary, and independent sector organisations to implement care plans and family interventions.

  • Complete timely, evidence-based assessments, regularly reviewing progress and adapting plans where positive outcomes are not being achieved.

  • Undertake preventative and early intervention work aimed at reducing the need for children entering care.

  • Promote the welfare, safety, and wellbeing of children and young people at all times.
