You will be responsible for keeping the HSCP informed of relevant policy changes, guidance, and research to ensure that multi-agency safeguarding practices are effective and grounded in best practices. Additionally, you will promote strong collaboration across HSCP’s multi-agency partners, fostering connections with other strategic partnerships to enhance child safeguarding efforts. Your role also includes ensuring that the HSCP has access to essential performance data and insights to guide priority setting and action planning.
