Kenny Gibson is the Deputy Director for NHS Safeguarding, overseeing several portfolios including tackling abuse, exploitation, radicalisation and violence. He leads nationally on Contextual Safeguarding; Trauma Informed Care; Prevent in the NHS and Child Protection Information System.
Having begun his NHS career as a laundry assistant in 1980 at a mental health unit, Kenny was encouraged to become a nursing assistant and then trained as a nurse and then a midwife.
Kenny has held various operational, management and strategic posts in both community and public health but always with nursing at the heart of these roles.
Prior to becoming the Head of Safeguarding for NHS England, Kenny was the Head of Public Health Commissioning for London.
Kenny is passionate about connecting with and listening to patients, carers and health practitioners in order to improve services and experiences within the NHS, as well as to empower people about their own well-being.
Kenny was awarded his MBE in January 2022 for services to healthcare leadership.

I think Child Abuse Review has gone from strength to strength and is of a consistently high standard. We have held numerous events that have been inspiring and enabling, such as the most recent Congresses and the Trainer's conference and award ceremony, the seminars to disseminate lessons from Serious Case Reviews. As resources get ever tighter, professionals have fewer and fewer opportunities to come together to exchange ideas and to learn together. We move more and more into silos because of work pressures. This is not the way to keep children safe. Association of Child Protection Professionals is needed to bring people concerned about child protection together to learn, to think, to shape policy and practice and to disseminate research. No-one else does this.
