Ms Barbara Gray:

Across different organisations, what we are really dealing with is vulnerability. We do a significant amount of training around dealing with vulnerability and seek to train officers and staff in recognising what potential vulnerabilities and risk areas may be for individuals and how they best deal with that. That is very much our corporative focus. It is not possible for us to get very bespoke training on every separate issue.

Within this field of sex offender management, it would be useful to get some input from Ms Hilman around the designated risk manager role which happens within this and how, as a multi-agency forum, it seeks to do much of the active management.
