We’re here to prevent children from becoming involved in violence. We do this by finding out what works and building a movement to change things.

• Working really well with colleagues to organise documents and information for reports. 

• Supporting people, you work most closely with (the wider operations team) on some of the more important processes, including audits and document maintenance.
