The Team includes Social Workers, Police Officers, Education Leads, and Safeguarding Nurses, with strong links to other partners. Together, we are committed to creating a safer environment for children in Warwickshire.

The Safeguarding Nurse will act as the Health Navigator. While being part of the new and dynamic Multi-Agency Child Protection Team, they will provide access to various health professionals, helping to identify the right professional for each child and family. They will work with the Health Safeguarding Lead to develop strategic partnerships with services across the system. A key part of their role will be to navigate complex systems and challenge the status quo when necessary to ensure all options are considered.

The role requires a strong understanding of multi-service systems, and the ability to coordinate multi-agency efforts to safeguard and/or promote the welfare of children and young people., The Multi-Agency Child Protection Team has been designed to facilitate information gathering and sharing within a fire-walled environment. You will advise and signpost professionals from a health perspective regarding concerns for children, young people and their families, assess information and provide an analysis of risk to inform the outcome decision.

Take a health lead in the coordination of Safeguarding Training, development, and other learning opportunities to ensure a wide understanding of the Multi Agency Child Protection Team initiative to encourage succession planning activity.
