Meet The Team
Protect and Teach CIC (“Protect and Teach”) is currently led by a small team of dedicated professionals, Trustee-designates and volunteers who share a commitment to education, research, safeguarding, and evidence-informed policy.
Protect and Teach is incorporated as a Community Interest Company (CIC) and has begun the process of applying to register as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO). Upon successful registration as a CIO, governance responsibilities will transfer to the Board of Trustees.
Although we are a newly established organisation, our team brings together many years of professional experience across education, health and social care, safeguarding, governance, leadership and public service.
Together, we are building a trusted organisation that promotes high-quality research, supports informed public discussion, develops practical educational resources, and contributes positively to public understanding of issues affecting children, young people, families and education.
As Protect and Teach grows, we look forward to welcoming additional directors, trustee-designates, volunteers and specialist advisers who share our commitment to the public benefit, our values and our long-term charitable objectives.
Our work is guided by a commitment to integrity, transparency, rigorous evidence, and the promotion of the welfare and best interests of children and young people.
