Jacqui leads our policy team, job sharing with Vicki Jones. Jacqui’s career has focussed on using evidence and lived experience to influence strategic and policy change. Jacqui was a civil servant for twelve years, working on a range of social policy areas before moving to the voluntary sector to lead a project on early intervention for children and young people with learning disabilities. Jacqui led children’s policy at the Challenging Behaviour Foundation (CBF) before joining Vicki for their first jobshare role at The Fostering Network. At the CBF Jacqui pioneered work to explore better ways of seeking the views of children and young people who do not communicate verbally and during holidays and weekends she works for a local charity on engagement activities for young people. Jacqui does lots of her policy thinking on long dog walks.
