At the core of the Service is our Data Analyst for the Exploitation Service. You will lead the division and multi-agency partnership on the delivery of detailed analysis drawn from a wide spectrum of partnership data and intelligence to inform work to identify and reduce the risk of extra-familial harm and exploitation of children and young people in LBTH.
