Join a dedicated safeguarding service as an Independent Reviewing Officer (IRO), ensuring that children in care receive high-quality, timely reviews that prioritise their safety, rights, and outcomes.
Act as a critical friend and advocate for children, providing independent oversight of care plans and challenging practice that does not meet required standards.
Ensure compliance with statutory duties under the Children Act 1989, Care Planning Regulations, and IRO Handbook, maintaining a clear focus on the voice of the child.
Work closely with social workers, managers, and multi-agency partners to promote best outcomes, escalating concerns where appropriate in line with dispute resolution procedures.
Utilise your professional expertise to scrutinise care planning, placement stability, health, education, and permanence for looked-after children.
Benefit from regular professional supervision, opportunities for CPD, and a working culture that values independence, challenge, and child-focused practice.
