Becky has over 25 years’ experience leading services in the violence against women and girls sector. She led My Sisters Place in Middlesbrough — one of the UK’s first ‘One Stop Shop’ services for survivors of domestic abuse — helping build its national reputation for innovation and good practice.

Alongside her work in the women’s sector, Becky has a background in probation, worked in prisons, and served for ten years as a magistrate in the criminal courts. Her work has focused particularly on high-harm domestic abuse cases, perpetrator responses, and developing more relational and effective responses to complex need and behaviour change. She contributed to the development of the Drive Project and pioneered new approaches to complex MARAC cases and children’s services.

Becky is a Churchill Fellow, a member of the Future Governance Forum’s Social Insights Panel, and served as a Commissioner for the Barking & Dagenham Domestic Abuse Commission.

Becky was awarded an MBE in 2020 for services to victims of abuse and received an Honorary Doctorate from Durham University in 2025 for her impact on research and practice.
