- Understand safeguarding best practice
- Input on safeguarding issues
- Facilitate engagement and participation
It is not essential for RAM Group members to be Catholic.

The position will be subject to completion of an application form and an interview with the Chair of the Safeguarding Sub-Committee and members of the Safeguarding Team.
