Crynodeb

The Public Safety Group is responsible for a set of outcomes which are fundamental to national life. Our role is to keep the public safe by cutting crime, disrupting the highest harm criminals, protecting the vulnerable and ensuring that our police, fire and rescue services are as efficient and effective as they can be in delivering front line public services. To deliver this, we develop and implement policy, provide funding deliver legislation. We make the most of innovation, data and partnerships to prevent crime, protect the vulnerable, and tackle the highest harm crimes. We work with our partners in law enforcement, across government, the voluntary and community sector, local authorities, and more widely.

The Safer Streets Mission is the vehicle to drive delivery across government to halve violence against women and girls, halve knife crime, and restore confidence in the policing and justice system to record levels. It is an opportunity to deliver transformative change to society, addressing both harm and confidence in parallel by taking a whole-system approach. These are ambitious aims that will require a dedicated coalition of Government, public services, the private sector, charities, and the public themselves, to be successful in achieving them.

This role will focus on delivering the Government’s commitments to halving Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) by 2034 and will be responsible for brigading the Home Office’s response to crimes that are frequently hidden, unreported and often disproportionately impact our most vulnerable members of society - working closely with Other Government Departments to achieve this.

The Director will lead units focused on tackling these crimes such as violence against women and girls, domestic abuse, child sexual abuse, public protection, and be the Senior Responsible Officer for the Multi-Agency Public Protection System (MAPPS).

MAPPS is a £56m Home Office-led project to replace the ViSOR database, which is the main IT tool for the management of serious offenders used by the police, probation and prison services across the UK since 2005 - informally, the "Sex Offenders Register". MAPPS will allow more than 60 agencies across the UK to access data securely and assist in the management of sex offenders, terrorist offenders and serious organised crime.

The postholder will report into the PSG Director General and be part of a senior leadership team consisting of nine SCS PB2s. At appointment they will lead around 130 staff organised into the following business units: Interpersonal Abuse Unit; Tackling Child Sexual Abuse Unit, Public Protection Unit; and the SRO for MAPPS.

Senior Sponsor for the Security Industry Authority (SIA) and the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS), and high-profile independent office holders such as the Independent Monitor for the Disclosure and Barring Service (IM) and the Domestic Abuse Commissioner (DAC).

Key responsibilities include:

This is a highly challenging and key role in protecting some of the most vulnerable members of our society.
