Speaker: Cath Edginton, Charity Commission, Technical Adviser and Senior Safeguarding Lead

Cath joined the Charity Commission in January 2019 from the Metropolitan Police after 31 years of service. Throughout her police service Cath has been involved in the policing areas of safeguarding and public protection working across a wide range of diverse and vulnerable groups to challenge crime and promote safeguarding.  Her current role is to drive the external and internal implementation of the Commission’s safeguarding strategy and to develop the Commission’s operational safeguarding capabilities through the provision of guidance and advice on policy and operational casework. She intends to develop new and existing relationships with external partners in order to raise awareness of the role of the Commission and to have an impact on how safeguarding issues across the charity sector are approached and managed.
