Protecting Vulnerable People (PVP) investigators

The areas that PVP would like external support with are as follows:

Supervisor reviews - these must be undertaken with a suitably experienced and preferably qualified person; previous PIP2 supervisory experience is important with optional preferences around having PVP experience.

Victim contact and VNA's - The candidates for this must be able to read and digest an officer's enquiry log and determine how the case is progressing, pulling pertinent points from the case file and sharing updates in a calm and empathetic manner. We would prefer candidates with policing or CJS experience who can listen and inform victims of police and CJS process.

File building - The candidates must have suitable skills in case building in a police setting, an understanding of disclosure rules and working with CPS.

Statement taking - The candidates must have prior skills in recording formal MG11 statement from victims and witnesses, with preferable skills in remote undertaking of statements.

Evidence review (digital etc) - Prior policing experience is preferred with PIP2 knowledge being helpful. Candidates must be able to work methodically through complex data sets to determine what maybe deemed evidential to the investigation or be deemed disclosable to the defence.

Anything else as directed by DS/DI

Co-ordination

We would be receptive to a senior person being appointed within this team, I would expect them to be the SPOC for the team and coordinate work activity inline with the local DI's request. They must be able to supervise a small team and work methodically and able to prioritise risk-based demand. An element of QA being built in here is important as I don't want this initiative bringing more work on the DI's.

This team being almost self-sufficient that we can task into subject to a formal adoption of a process will be preferred, over random people being adopted to us
