NED & PUBLIC ROLES

Juliet chairs fitness to practise tribunals for the Health & Care Professions Council which regulates 15 professions from physiotherapy to psychology. The aim of the tribunals is to keep the public safe, and uphold professional standards. 

A JP for more than a decade, Juliet is well-versed in the sifting of evidence (written, visual and in-person), pertinent questioning, fairness, collective decision making and finding the best practical outcomes in sometimes less than ideal circumstances. 

As a lay member of the COT (Committee on Toxicity of Chemicals in Food, Consumer Products and the Environment) for seven years (until spring 2024), and the COC (Committee on Carcinogenicity), Juliet helps bring a broad public persepective into expert scientist-led discussions. These Scientific Advisory Committees provide independent expert advice to the Food Standards Agency, Department of Health and other government departments/agencies.

Juliet is a trustee of the Student Publication Association supporting student journalists (and those recently graduated) directly and through mentorship, awards schemes and conferences, including the annual national conference attended by more than 200 student journalists.  

She was previously a NED for a social research charity specialising in giving voice to the under-represented and promoting restorative justice. She provided support through an HR crisis and co-chaired their awards ceremony.

“Juliet’s interventions are always insightful and to the point. She makes an invaluable contribution to the work of the Committee.”
