Locum Independent Reviewing Officer, Mid & North Essex
Temporary, Full Time
£40-£45 p/h
Location:
Chelmsford
Closing Date: 9th June 2024
Please note this position is a home-based role with travel requirements across Essex and beyond.
Here in Essex, we continue to raise the bar about practice and our investment in our workforce is second to none.
Social Work Employer of the Year for the second time in the last three years
Essex County Council (ECC) is one of the largest and most dynamic local authorities in the UK, serving a population of 2 million residents, and has a very successful track record of delivering transformational change.
We are changing the way we think, the way we work, and the ways in which we deliver our services.
We are committed to becoming a place where individuals, partners and communities feel proud to play their role and genuinely want to belong.
We're immensely proud of our flexible working options.***
The Opportunity
Children and Families is recognised as a service in which social work can develop and prosper, with a culture of collaboration, integrity and compassion; promoting the development and wellbeing of children, young people and their families; protecting them from neglect and abuse.
Working together with partners delivering a range of early help, family support and effective social work interventions which build resilience, remove barriers and enable children and young people to look forward to a brighter future.
The Role
To provide an effective Independent Reviewing Officer (IRO) service for children in care, in accordance with statutory regulation, guidance, and Essex County Council procedures.
The statutory duties of the IRO are to [Section 25B (1), 1989 CA]:
- Monitor the performance by the local authority of their functions in relation to the child's case.
- Participate in any review of the child's case.
- Ensure the wishes and feelings of the child are given due consideration by the authority.
- Perform any other function which is prescribed in regulations.
The Independent Reviewing Officer's primary focus is to quality assure the care planning and review process for each looked after child, and to ensure that the child's needs, wishes and feelings are given full consideration.
The review process should consider the child's assessed needs, and their progress, and will agree both long term plans and more immediate steps that will meet these needs and promote the child's welfare.
The purpose of the review process is to ensure that the child's welfare is safeguarded and promoted in the most effective way while looked after by the Local Authority.
The IRO role is one of practice expertise in the area of children in care and care planning and should be pivotal in driving forward Essex County Council's commitment to secure better and improved outcomes for children in care.
The IRO should actively contribute to ensuring that Essex County Council fulfils its responsibilities as a 'corporate parent' for all children in care, by providing scrutiny and challenge to all levels of practitioner and manager within the organisation.
***Accountabilities
- To ensure that statutory review meetings are held within the required timescales, and that all relevant family members, parents, carers and professionals are identified, invited to attend, and/or consulted fully in the process. This should take place in conjunction with the Social Worker responsible for the child and take into account the wishes and feelings of the child.
- To independently monitor the progress of the child between review meetings, ensuring the care plan continues to meet the assessed needs, and take action to convene a formal review when necessary.
- To communicate directly with the senior management team within Family Operations, when the Local Authority fails to meet its statutory obligations to children in care, especially where poor practice has contributed to, or increased, the risk to a child.
- To contribute to the development of strategic and corporate plans, ensuring effective representation of the issues relevant to looked after children, in order to secure better outcomes and continuous service improvement.
- To ensure that arrangements are made for children to access advocacy services, where this is considered appropriate and/or beneficial.
- To enable and support children and young people to access and
