- Conducting Specialist Assessments: Responding to new referrals, completing holistic assessments that take into account the complex needs of children with disabilities, and identifying the appropriate support and services required.
- Safeguarding and Risk Management: Leading and contributing to safeguarding enquiries, including Section 47 investigations, where there are concerns about a child's safety or wellbeing, with a focus on the unique vulnerabilities of children.
