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 public interest (lay) member of the COT (Committee on Toxicity of Chemicals in Food, Consumer Products and the Environment) for seven years (until spring 2024), the COC (Committee on Carcinogenicity), and SAG-CS (Scientific Advisory Group - Chemical Safety), Juliet helps bring a broad public perspective into expert scientist-led discussions. These Scientific Advisory Committees provide independent advice to the Food Standards Agency, Department of Health and Social Care, and the Office for Safety & Standards as well as other government departments/agencies.

Juliet has held two charity trusteeships, most recently with the Student Publication Association (until spring 2024), supporting student journalists (and those recently graduated) directly and through mentorship, awards schemes and conferences, including the annual national conference attended by 200-250 student journalists.  She was previously a NED for a social research charity specialising in giving voice to under-represented groups and promoting restorative justice.
