Social Worker - Assessment Team

Receive and screen referrals from professionals, families, or the public. Conduct initial assessments to determine risk levels and service eligibility, making decisions on whether cases require further intervention under Section 17 or Section 47. Undertake home visits and interviews with children and families, while liaising with police, schools, health services, and other agencies to gather information. Prepare detailed reports and recommendations for further action, escalating cases to child protection teams when necessary. Maintain accurate records and ensure timely responses to referrals.
