I am a coach and trainer with 30 years’ experience in childcare and family support. I'm an endorsed Protective Behaviors trainer and have delivered the Foundation level course in schools and as an open access course for people from a variety of organisations. I worked in Children’s Centres in Hertfordshire for 12 years and developed a 6 week PBs programme for parents and carers, using the PBs process to support families with relationships and challenging family situations. I now work with teams and individuals on personal and professional development and use PBs in all of my work.

I did my first PB training in 1998 in Central Queensland Australia. I became a national Board member of PBA in 2002 and was a member for 3 years. Meeting Di Margetts in 2004 was the highlight of my PB journey, and it was Di that led me here today. I will always be deeply grateful to Di for not only her mentoring and generous heart but for her fearless support of keeping kids and communities safe.

I'm Sally Ann Hart and I'm the Secretary of the PBA having co-founded the Association – I was also one of the founders of PBPeople and the Protective Behaviours Training Partnership. I encountered PBs in 1998 while working for an inclusion service in Northamptonshire, just up the road from where Di Margetts settled in the UK. I was trained by Di from Foundation to Trainer and started to deliver training in 2003. As a result of the pandemic, I have taken my PB training online and love being able to reach a wider audience by-passing the 'Tyranny of Travel' and associated expenses :)

I have over 12 years experience working with Protective Behaviours. I have been a member of the Protective Behaviours Committee Australia ( now ceased) since 2016. I have worked with the former PBA and the former PBWA to change the structure and objectives of the training in Australia to be in line with International Universal training processes. During this time I was fortunate to have been personally mentored and be friended by Di Margetts who helped me to achieve an amazing depth of knowledge, calmness and clarity regarding the importance of Protective behaviours in our lives everyday. I am very thankful for her never ending generosity of knowledge and wisdom.
The last three years I have been working as a director of PB West and a trainer, in alignment with PBI and PB training partnership training standards. Included in my work is the development of several curriculums, a children’s book, a Universal training accompaniment manual and a one day teacher professional learning training workshop and manual

I'm Kelly Higgs and am a relatively new member of the Protective Behaviours family, having only discovered the magic of PBs in September 2022 when I completed my Foundation Training. However, this initial dipping of my toes in the water led to a deep passion for embedding Protective Behaviours across my Special Needs Setting in Warwick. Beyond my professional interest, I find that PBs resonates with many aspects of my personal life and helps me to navigate more safely challenges that I may be experiencing. My favourite Protective Interruptions are running, often long distances, and baking. I also enjoy writing about my PB reflections on LinkedIn and discussing key aspects with other practitioners.

My first introduction to the Protective Behaviours process was when I was working in Early Years , over 15 years ago. I have since had several training updates and have recently completed the Specialist Practitioner training with a view to starting a Train the Trainer pathway. Currently I work in a primary school and do my best to use the PB process within both my personal and professional life.

I'm Joc Rose and I'm currently the PBs Elder on the Council. I encountered PBs in 1991 (or 2 - can't quite remember) when I attended Di Margetts' presentation at Milton Keynes police station. On that occasion a lightbulb went on over my head which has never gone out since (must be an LED), and though I'm retired now and no longer professionally involved with PBs I still use the process all the time.
