In January 2025, Claire joined the NPCC Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) Taskforce under ACC Sam Millar, later becoming VAWG Delivery Lead in May as the Taskforce transitioned into the VAWG Programme within the National Centre for VAWG and Public Protection (NCVPP). The NCVPP places victims at the heart of policing and unites law enforcement, government, and partners to deliver consistent, professional responses to VAWG. Claire’s leadership reflects her commitment to systemic change, professionalising public protection, and tackling national challenges, while also spearheading work on online harms, driving innovation in developing technology and AI within the NCVPP, and creating safer public spaces for women and girls.
