Jackie Brock has been appointed as the new chief executive of charity Children in Scotland .
Having spent much of the last decade in children’s services for the Scottish Government, Ms Brock has a long-standing commitment to issues affecting children and young people in Scotland.
She said, ‘To be able to continue working in children’s services in the voluntary sector, and in an organisation with over 400 members, all focused on improving children’s and young people’s lives, is simply my dream job, so it is a privilege to take up the post of chief executive of Children in Scotland.’
The appointment follows Bronwen Cohen’s retirement from her role in July, 22 years after she joined Children in Scotland, which reaches over 250,000 children and young people in Scotland.
Over the coming weeks and months, Ms Brock’s main priority will be listening to the views of members, partner organisations and staff in order to shape the future role of Children in Scotland.
She will represent the organisation on behalf of the sector and determine how best to secure tangible improvements for children, young people and their families.
Ms Brock added, ‘We need to engage members and draw together shared approaches and understanding to bring about real improvements in all aspects of children’s and young people’s lives, whatever their background.’
