Our Trustees
Steve Wilkinson
Having a wealth of background in both software and sales, Steve and his business partner set up their Company in 1996. In 2011, they began an investment in safeguarding software for schools which has since become embedded in the UK Education sector and in over 33 Countries worldwide. Steve passionately believes that all young people should have access to the resources and opportunities they need, regardless of background, challenges or circumstance.
Susie Wilkinson
Susie worked in Education for more than 20 years including at some of the most challenging schools in the local area. With a love for people and community, Susie strongly believes that we can help be the change by all coming together and supporting one another.
Sophie Wilkinson
Spending the first ten years of her career as a Primary School teacher, Sophie built a solid understanding of the importance of keeping children safe and ensuring their needs are met. Having reached a point where she wanted to help as many young people as possible, Sophie moved into the role of Product Director for the family’s Safeguarding Software product. A passionate advocate for believing all children deserve equal chances, Sophie heads up the Foundation and oversees day-to-day operations.
