- Identify safeguarding concerns and escalate appropriately in line with policy and procedures
- Analyse qualitative and quantitative audit findings to identify themes, risks, and areas for improvement
- Produce clear, concise audit reports with evidence-based judgements and actionable recommendations
- Track audit actions and monitor progress to support continuous improvement
- Support managers and practitioners to embed learning through reflective discussions and feedback loops
- Contribute to policy, procedure, and quality standard improvements across services
- Provide training, coaching, and guidance on quality assurance and safeguarding standards where required
