Refuge National Domestic Abuse Charity – CEO Ruth Davison

“Christina joined Refuge at a pivotal time, when we were undergoing significant change. As a specialist provider to women and children experiencing domestic abuse, safeguarding is at the very core of what Refuge does. Christina was able to help us ensure that this core value and concern was not just implicit but explicit across the entire charity. She established a strong foundation for organisation-wide safeguarding by developing policies, training and a framework for reporting, management and governance. This has made a huge positive difference to our ways of working and I would highly recommend Christina. She brought a highly professional but also very personable approach to her work that encouraged collaboration and ensured that the wide ownership of safeguarding across Refuge remained and grew, at the same time as creating a central hub of expertise.”
