Judith Walker - Kidsafe Programme Co-ordinator
For 16 years I was employed in the private sector undertaking administrative and accountancy roles, including P.A. to Managing Director and office supervisor for a major workwear manufacturer.
During this time I became a volunteer in a variety of settings including a Lancashire County Council Young Women’s Group and a Church led Boy’s Brigade Group.

I firstly went through in-depth training to be able to deliver the Kidsafe programme including Child Protection Training and group work skills (for both children and adults) and have now successfully co-delivered the full Kidsafe programme into 19 Cumbrian Primary Schools.
