The Safeguarding Officer role has been created to strengthen and standardise safeguarding practice across OTR BaNES’ wellbeing, counselling and early-intervention services.
The post holder will act as a safeguarding lead, providing operational oversight, audit and quality assurance, staff guidance and external liaison, and ensuring compliance with statutory safeguarding frameworks, local partnership arrangements and ICB standards.
