As a public sector recruitment consultant, I'm aware of the importance of addressing community concerns. A recent article highlighting increased housing complaints in Lambeth has prompted me to consider the challenges we face. Just as residents voice their housing issues, public sector organizations require skilled complaint specialists to address citizen concerns effectively. But simply attributing complaints to residents overlooks the need for talented professionals who can facilitate solutions. In recruiting complaint specialists, we prioritize qualities like empathy, problem-solving, and communication skills. These professionals must understand community dynamics and engage effectively to resolve issues. As recruitment consultants, it's our responsibility to identify and support the right people for these critical roles. Let's collaborate to recruit complaint specialists who can make a positive impact and foster trust within our communities. Complaint specialists interested in contributing to meaningful change, please reach out. Your expertise is invaluable in shaping better outcomes for communities. #PublicSectorRecruitment #ComplaintSpecialists #CommunityEngagement #Lambeth #LinkedInDiscussion

It's crucial to prioritise the safety of victims and children when working with people who exhibit harmful behavior. That's why the Engage Model places the safety of victims and children at the forefront of all work with perpetrators of abuse. With the Engage Model, professionals can effectively risk manage while holding those with harmful behavior accountable for their actions. This approach ensures that the responsibility for change is not placed on the victim, but rather on the person exhibiting harmful behavior. As we continue to work a community where people can live free from the fear of domestic abuse, it's important for professionals to use models like Engage that prioritise victim safety and accountability. #safety #accountability #victimprotection #safeguarding #socialwork #domesticabuse #engage #aparadigmshift
