Testimonials

G . SILK PSHE LEAD,

Georgina delivers a passionate and engaging talk about consent, which is very impactful on students and staff. Her first hand experience, as an ex-police officer and in particular her work as a Rape and Sexual Offences Officer, means her insight and knowledge is invaluable. I would recommend her talk on consent, as it addresses a key element of the PSHE curriculum.

MRS ROBINSON TEACHER,

Thank you so much for coming in today. I have heard such positive feedback from my year 11 students . In the survey they completed at the end of their PSHE day, they said it was the best talk they have had, due to how passionate you were and talking about your first hand experience.

Feedback from staff was incredibly positive too and they said how engaging and knowledgeable you were.

Real Life Experiences

In her early twenties, Georgina was sexually assaulted whilst on a night out with her friends. She was at the beginning of her police career and chose not to report the crime. However, in her last role she used her own experience of sexual violence to assist other victims process theirs.

Using her knowledge and skills as a detective and victim, Georgina has helped several young people in her local community by protecting them from sexual offenders.

In 2020 whilst working in the CID she realised through her local social network that a man was approaching young children as they walked to school. It became clear that the same man was approaching school children in neighbouring towns and villages. She started her own investigation, gathered evidence and put together an intelligence package about the suspect, which included the vehicle he was using. The man in question was arrested days later and, as an already convicted sex offender, was immediately remanded. Following court proceedings, he received a custodial sentence.

It was this experience that led her to be elected as a governor at her local secondary school . Appointed as the PSHE Governor, Georgina was invited to talk to students about her career. Over the last four years she has given many talks about her experiences as a woman in the Police Force and her career as a detective.

Georgina is passionate about safeguarding children, especially regarding sexual violence and is now very open about her own experiences, to help others deal with theirs.
