  2. Ensuring consistency and appropriateness of advice provided to the JACO regarding cases reviewed by HEO Investigating Officers.
  3. Providing accurate advice to the JACO regarding annual and six-monthly reports.
  4. Offering direct line management support for 5 HEO Investigating Officers, adhering to MoJ HR policies.
