Location: Sand Martin House

The Role:
Children’s social workers in the Assessment Team are responsible for responding to referrals where there are concerns about a child’s safety or wellbeing.

The team operates on a three-week duty rota, meaning each team is only responsible for new referrals once every three weeks. When teams are on duty it is expected that Social Workers are in the office
Key Responsibilities:
* Investigate these concerns, assess the risks and protective factors within the family, and determine the most appropriate course of action.
* Conducting home visits, engaging directly with children and families, and ensuring that the child’s voice is central to all assessments and decisions.

* Carry out Section 17 Single Assessments and Section 47 Enquiries.
