Liaise with the Office of the Information Commissioner on appeals/reviews as required
Maintain FOI publication scheme and proactive disclosure logs
Advise on management practices that support timely and accurate responses to access requests
Undertake any other such appropriate duties, which may be assigned from time to time by their Line Manager

General Legal Support

Provide first-line support on routine legal and contractual matters (leases, procurement contracts, MOUs, licensing agreements), escalating to external solicitors or the Head of Corporate Services & Registrar as appropriate
Support statutory compliance monitoring (NCAD Act obligations, Charities Regulator filings where relevant, safeguarding/vetting legislative requirements)
Assist with legal correspondence
Support policy development across the compliance landscape (child protection/safeguarding, procurement compliance, whistleblowing/Protected Disclosures)
Undertake any other such appropriate duties, which may be assigned from time to time by their Line Manager
