Show Notes

Mary Jackson is Frontline's new Chief Executive. Mary describes her path to the leadership position she is in today as not an obvious one. As a teen growing up in Wellington, New Zealand, she studied photography. However she has always been driven by her strong sense of social justice, influenced by her mum who is a teacher, and sister, a social worker.

Mary is an experienced leader and strongly believes that in the world as it is today, social work has never been more important or more necessary. In this episode, hear Mary talk about her journey, her vision for Frontline, and how we can work together as a sector to lead lasting change in social work for children and families.
