• Working to deadlines: to be able to organise meetings; produce and distribute minutes and complete follow up actions within statutory deadlines
• Organisational skills: To arrange a variety of meetings for the Safeguarding Children and QA Unit. To ensure that prior to the meetings, all relevant documentation/information is prepared in sufficient time to allow consideration to the cases being presented. This will require liaison with partner agencies. To ensure that minutes and follow up actions are completed within the required timescales
• Confidentiality: To ensure that confidentiality is always maintained and to give consideration to the secure storage of data relating to child protection matters. You should have due regard of the extremely sensitive and emotive nature of the subject matter and subsequent discussion of the cases being presented
