I was a Child Protection Manager in Australia for 10 years (2007-2017). Working alongside the Police, my Unit piloted a number of specialist teams & trainings: our JIRT: Joint Investigation Response Teams; SAIT: Sexual Assault Investigation Teams and FVU: Family Violence Units positioned Advanced Child Protection practitioners in various police stations where the officers & Practitioners were highly skilled in these areas.
I developed internal Child Protection Training & delivered external community education to the mandated professionals.
