Joanne Cullen is the Founder and CEO of ChildShield International and an early years educator with nearly 30 years of experience working directly with children and families in the UK and internationally. She founded ChildShield International to bring frontline safeguarding experience into education and technology that help adults recognise and respond to risks earlier. She is developing ChildShield Guardian™, designed to help children recognise grooming, manipulation and coercion online, turn to a trusted adult and get support after speaking up. At the World Police Summit, Joanne will join “Families as Partners in Community Security”, bringing a frontline perspective on how families, communities and law enforcement can work together to protect children and respond when they ask for help.
