Why do you work at Safe Space Legal?
It has always been paramount for me to have a value-aligned career and at Safe Space Legal, I feel like I am part of creating tangible good on a daily basis. I have always been driven by a strong sense of social justice, and I am passionate about safeguarding and creating safe environments for children and vulnerable people.
Coming from a background in criminology and sociology, working at Safe Space Legal felt like a natural progression to help address safeguarding issues holistically and help organisations create a culture of safeguarding. What makes it even better is that I come to work every day feeling so fortunate that I get to work alongside such wonderful colleagues.
