Guest: Willow Duffy

Willow is a founding member and CEO of Safeguarding Children. What started as an idea over a cup of coffee and hundreds of hours of voluntary time at the start has turned into a leading provider of safeguarding training a consultancy in New Zealand, and the leading provider of online training.

Willow came to New Zealand from the UK in 2009 with her husband, two children and the family dog. You may be surprised to learn that Willow has worked as a nurse, Specialist Community Nurse Practitioner (UK Health Visitor) and midwife for over 30 years. Both nursing and midwifery professions have a strong foundation in advocacy. When partnered with post-graduate child protection study and hard-hitting frontline experience, the result was a brave and determined advocate for children and those who are vulnerable. Willow believes that maintaining her nursing registration ensures she is driven by the core qualities, code of conduct, values, and standards of the profession in her role as CEO of Safeguarding Children.

Willow believes that mobilised and empowered communities hold the key to keeping children and young people safe, and that we all have a vital role to play. She is passionate that people demand the same standards of care that they expect for their own children to other peoples children when they are in their care. Other people’s children matter!
