Kathryn Stone OBE C.Dir FIoD
Chief Executive
Before joining VOICE UK, I was Principal Inspector for Milton Keynes Council and Head of Inspection for the London Boroughs of Hammersmith & Fulham and Barking & Dagenham, responsible for the regulation of residential, nursing and day care. I also worked as an independent inspector for 8 local authorities across the UK.
I have experience of child protection, training, counselling and supporting people with mental health needs. I am also involved with the development of the Intermediary scheme with the Home Office. My particular interests in this context are violent crimes against women and children.
I am a member of the editorial board of the
International Journal of Leadership in Public Services
. and have written widely on a number of topics in social care and contributed chapters to books about adult protection and the criminal justice system.
I have given evidence to two Home Affairs Select Committee inquiries and an EHRC inquiry.
I felt very privileged to be awarded an OBE in 2007 for my services to people with learning disabilities and was made a Chartered Director by the
Institute of Directors
in 2008 and a Fellow of the Institute of Directors in 2009.
