Crynodeb
The team of Safeguarding Caseworkers based in Aldershot, led by Senior Caseworker Managers, assess and decide on all safeguarding allegations and concerns within the Army Cadets. This necessitates that Safe-guarding Case Workers are appropriately qualified and experienced professionals in safeguarding, capable of conducting child safeguarding investigations and adept at collaborating with multiple agencies.
Case Workers collaborate closely with various individuals, including children, families, volunteers, and staff within the Army Cadets, as well as representatives from other organisations such as Social Services and the Police.
They offer safeguarding guidance and assistance to others, manage a caseload of safeguarding cases, conduct inquiries, and make decisions centred around the welfare of the child. When necessary, they refer cases to the Disclosure and Barring Service or similar bodies.
This role involves handling cases across a broad geographical area, which requires occasional travel any-where in the UK and overseas.
Although the role primarily operates during regular working hours from Monday to Friday, some flexibility is required to engage with young people and volunteers outside of their school and work commitments. Additionally, Case Workers may need to participate in an out-of-hours duty schedule which if activated would result in additional allowances being payable.
A Safeguarding Caseworker is required to deliver against the following areas.
Work in a child centred way by promoting the wellbeing and safeguarding of children above other factors
Act as a point of contact for safeguarding disclosures, concerns and referrals, providing expert advice and guidance and sharing information with other agencies as necessary
Attend multi-agency and internal meetings virtually and/ or in-person. Build and maintain effective working relationships with colleagues and other partners
Undertake enquiries and determine the suitability of individuals to remain in the Army Cadets
Manage safeguarding cases in line with national legislation, guidance and Army Cadet Regulations and Safeguarding Policy
Utilise sound professional judgement to make decisions on safeguarding cases
Complete all necessary documentation, ensuring full and accurate records are maintained
Submit appropriate referrals to the Disclosure and Barring Service, Protection of Vulnerable Groups Scotland, or Access Northern Ireland
Participate meaningfully in regular professional supervision
Seek and engage with opportunities for continuous professional development
Understand and advise on the relevant national safeguarding statutory guidance such as Working Together, data protection legislation and regulations, especially the Data Protection Act 2018 and the General Data Protection Regulation, in relation to safeguarding casework
