Allegation Management Lead (AML)

The AML provides management and oversight of individual cases of allegations of abuse against those who work with adults with care and support needs.

The AML's role is to give advice and guidance to employers and voluntary organisations; liaise with the police and other agencies; and monitor the progress of cases to ensure that they are dealt with as quickly as possible consistent with a thorough and fair process.
